sendmail issue

[morgaann]

I have Unix servers running Solaris 2.6 - 2.8. These servers have sybase accounts that seem to be sending out emails to an unknown address and I can't find out the source.

I am not very familiar with sendmail configuration and I need help trying to figure out what steps I need to take to find out the root of this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are these mails sending through crontab?? I want know are these mails going to an address in your company or outside.
Please look into /etc/mail/aliases file. Any groups defined.

I am not certain if the mail is generated through cron jobs. The weird thing is,is that the sybase account has different cron jobs depending on the server its accessing so it wouldn't be a particular job that's causing this.

These emails are sending to an account within the company and the account doesn't exist and never existed. My Exchange admin has never heard of the account and its generating hundreds of emails per day.

Hope this helps.

Find out when the emails are being sent from /var/log/syslog... then look for job that runs at those times in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/*.

Failing that, is there another job scheduler on the system... i.e. does Sybase have a built-on job scheduler? Annihilannic.
