Good day!

Using latest 7.8.1 and I am having a few problems with my email and in looking at my /var/log/maillog, it was huge! Line after line of emails to root from user@arpwatch or from user@arpwatch. root, not being a mail user, it is rejected. My interfaces are set up correctly but this is just too much mail going nowhere, isn't it?

How do I make it stop sending bogus emails and filling up my maillog? Arpwatch config file has no entries to send emails to or from.

Below is just a couple examples which repeat every 15 to 20 seconds.

Thanks!

John

    I wish I were a Linux/ClearOS programmer and knew a lot more about the system layout and I would tackle it. In any event, thanks Nick! I do know there are a lot of good feature requests in the queue and all good things come in time. Most everything has a work around!

    Thanks again!!!

    I am in two minds about this. I block it and think the e-mails are useless, but they can have their uses if you don't have that sort of noise. The e-mails can indicate unknown coming on devices on your system. On the other hand, if you don't have root aliases to a valid user for e-mails, you get a massive build up or e-mails in /var/spool/mail/root. I'll put in an issue request against app-network-map, but it will need another panel adding to the app. I am not good at that, it takes me a long time and there are more pressing needs. If there are other takers, great!

    I've also added a small section the the Network Map documentation.

    Thank-you Nick! I did Google this and STFed and didn't find it.

    Shouldn't ClearOS be set up this way out of the box? By default? Feature request.

    You are very much appreciated!
