Is your mail server running and properly configured?



http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/quick/sendmail.html - This link helped me understand Sendmail and the options I needed to get it setup properly.



http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancid – This link helped me understand Rancid a little better. I would go through it step by step and validate you didn’t miss something. I seem to do this quite often when I am in a hurry.



Hope this helps.
