Cron don't see axigen as local MTA

I have set “Allow local delivery” (at Message Acceptance Settings) ON, but still local crontab says:
(CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)

Installation is Ubuntu 18.04

Hello,

Have you already checked this KB How to send emails using the sendmail wrapper?

My assumption is that the cron daemon was unable to find the mail transfer agent (in this case sendmail) so it just drops the output.

In order to have a confirmation you may check the output of the following command:

$ sudo which sendmail

Basically, all you need is to configure Axigen own sendmail binary as the local MTA so the message will be injected directly into the Axigen queue and ,from there, the PROCESSING rules will kick in).

HTH,
Ioan

Thank you!
That solved the problem… System could not find sendmail -binary. :wink:
