We have Mandrake 8. Mail is setup and working for the most part.
But the Cron Damemon keeps sending mail to NEWS. How do we stop this.
This is the email we keep getting.
Subject: Cron <root@domain> nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly

In the body of the email:

Cannot open /etc/news/inn.conf
run-parts: /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-rnews exited with return code 1

Probably just shut of inn if you don't need it....

/etc/init.d/inn stop

Then rename /etc/init.d/inn to /etc/init.d/inn.off

that way it won't start during a reboot....

OR, look in /etc/cron.hourly for an inn entry and get rid of it.
