SpamSnake 10.10 issue - Quarantine reports

Hi All

I've got my SpamSnake successfully up and running but have a small issue with a cron job which runs.

Code:

# m h  dom mon dow   command

37      5 * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_phishing_sites

07      * * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_bad_phishing_sites

58     23 * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/clean.quarantine

42      * * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_virus_scanners

3,23,43 * * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner &> /dev/null



30 01 * * * /usr/bin/sa-learn --force-expire --sync -p /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf



@daily  manage.py cleanquarantine #Clean quarantine

* * * * 5  manage.py sendquarantinereports #Send quarantine reports

@monthly manage.py  dbclean #Clean maillog

@weekly  manage.py updatesarules #Update spamassassin rules

@daily  manage.py sendpdfreports #Send PDF Reports



@weekly /usr/sbin/fuzzy-cleanmysql #FuzzyOcr DB cleaner



00 04 * * * /usr/bin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh -c /etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs.conf &> /dev/null



@monthly /usr/sbin/update-iana &> /dev/null #Update firehol reserved ips

Thats the output of crontab -l

Up until yesterday I was receiving scheduled quarantine reports but I now am getting quarantine reports sent to me every minute! I woke up this morning and had 1400 odd email reports!

Any ideas how to stop this? Have tried the faithful reboot and that's made no difference.

Regards
Colin

Thats your problem, that cronjob is incorrectly setup.

Use @daily instead and restart cron.

Thanks topdog, have just updated my crontab so hopefully this will cure it. Not sure why it's just started doing this though as it was set to * * * * 5 in the tutorial that I copied and pasted from. :)

That cron statement means send every second every min every hour, every month on a friday.
