Dear experts,
Our perfSonar boxes seem to be trying to send many emails [1] to the
admin addresses of other perfSonar boxes. Our IT services ask if this
is an expected behaviour or a mis-configuration.
Looking at some old documentation [2] it seems that perfSonar has
indeed some sendmail modules.
Is this absolutely required for the operation? It seems that if these
emails are allowed this would lead to a virtual flood of emails for
the site admins.
Cheers,
Luke
