Hi, I’m trying to configure periodic to send emails instead of logging operations to a file. So I created /etc/periodic.conf with this line:

daily_output="user@domain"

but I don’t receive the message and the file /var/log/daily.out is not touched (which it makes sense, of course). I don’t see anything in /var/log/system.log and I can send mails from the command line just fine. Is sending mail to a user of another domain supported or should I send the messages to a local user? Any other hints?

Hi,
it should work with any domain. You can try to manually fire daily scripts using
$sudo periodic daily

Thank you
