[rancid] Release Authorised RANCID Email Issue

[Tom Simpson]

You can make an alias for sendmail to postfix, it should already be there with CentOS.... What version of Cent are you running?
Thanks,

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!
