Sysadmin Yum Updates Email

I setup the Yum automatic update via yum-cron.

I'm getting some weird formatting of the "from" in the email. I wanted to correct it, but I wasn't sure exactly where it was sending the message from.

The message "from" looks like what is below. Not sure why I'm seeing two quotes before the @ and the < character.

Code:

""@server1.mydomain.com <""@server1.mydomain.com>

I have the yum-cron.conf setup:

Code:

[emitters]
# Name to use for this system in messages that are emitted.  If
# system_name is None, the hostname will be used.
system_name = None

# How to send messages.  Valid options are stdio and email.  If
# emit_via includes stdio, messages will be sent to stdout; this is useful
# to have cron send the messages.  If emit_via includes email, this
# program will send email itself according to the configured options.
# If emit_via is None or left blank, no messages will be sent.
emit_via = email

# The width, in characters, that messages that are emitted should be
# formatted to.
output_width = 80


[email]
# The address to send email messages from.
# NOTE: 'localhost' will be replaced with the value of system_name.
email_from = root@localhost

# List of addresses to send messages to.
email_to = support@domain.com

# Name of the host to connect to to send email messages.
email_host = localhost

No I didn't. I had a bunch of other items to do and this wasn't really that big of an issue. Wanted to see if anyone else had or knew how to resolve this.

No I didn't make any changes to Postfix config.

Actually, looking at this again, it might've cleared its self up. Not seeing it anymore in the emails. Maybe it was after I updated the root email address?

 

I have to re-install both my servers. If I have the issue again, I'll post it.
