[rancid] Release Authorised RANCID Email Issue

[Browne, Sean]

Heasley nailed it.

I found "/usr/libexec/rancid/control_rancid: line 503: sendmail: command not found"

So sendmail is not installed.  Is there somewhere I can tell RANCID to use postfix instead?

Thanks a lot!

look at the log files for the groups.  maybe it can't run sendmail.
