[rancid] rancid emailing not working

[Jonathan Reed]

I'm unable to have rancid send an email to me after completion. Does the
email function depend on the success of comparing via cvs?

I'm running
sudo rancid-run -f /etc/rancid/rancid.conf_DIST -m ***@example.com -r
172.x.x.26

LOGFILE:
starting: Thu Sep 1 12:56:39 EDT 2011
*cvs status: use `cvs add' to create an entry for `172.x.x.26'*
*cvs add: in directory `.':*
*cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do `cvs checkout' first*
*cvs added missing router 172.x.x.26*
*.......*
*Trying to get all of the configs.*
*All routers sucessfully completed.*

It sends an email only if there is diff output.

This is bad. You ran rancid-cvs first and it completed without error?

I was aware that cvs was not setup on that system, but I didnt realize it
was necessary for email functionality, make sense though. I'll be creating a
repo to have this sorted out.
thanks for helping out guys.
