Daily '/etc/cron.daily/logrotate' error

[WebIdentity]

For the past few nights at 03:00 i get the following error in my inbox as a response from a daily cron job:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

error: sa-update:3 unknown option 'notifyempty' -- ignoring line

Anyone know whats going on there? Thanks.

What OS and version is installed on the system?

# cat /etc/*release

If on CentOS, RHEL, or Fedora, it sounds like there was a SpamAssassin RPM installed or updated, and this may have installed or updated a file at the following path:
/etc/logrotate.d/sa-update

# cat /etc/logrotate.d/sa-update

Inside the file you may see the text "notifyempty" -- this should be corrected to "notifempty" where there is no "y" after the words "not" and "if".

You may use the following commands to verify if the file is part of an installed RPM and check it's modification date and time:

# stat /etc/logrotate.d/sa-update
# rpm -qf /etc/logrotate.d/sa-update
# rpm -q spamassassin

Please note that it is not necessary to have the SpamAssassin RPM installed; if it is needed, SpamAssassin can be safely installed using the following script:

# /scripts/installspam
