yum-updatesd problem

  • 772

I am trying to setup yum-updatesd to send email notification when there are updates available to the packages on my system. However, I am not receiving any notifications even though there are updates available (as seen in yum check-update)

I have verified that the yum-updatesd service is running.

This is my /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf:

[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 3600
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600

# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = email
email_to = [email protected]
email_from = [email protected]

# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for
# new updates
dbus_listener = yes

# automatically install updates
do_update = no
# automatically download updates
do_download = no
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = no
centos yum

  1. is sendmail running? If you type "echo hi | mail -s test [email protected]" do you get the message?

    It turns out the issue was with my spam folder and not yum-updatesd. The configuration above is working perfectly.
