[rancid] changing email notification

[G***@l-3com.com]

Hello,



I was trying to follow the below mentioned FAQ about changing e-mail
notifications using mail-list software. Can anyone provide a HOWTO or a
sample as I am having difficulty.



Thanks,



George







Q. I would like to collect device configurations every hour, but only
receive

diffs every Nth collection or every N hours. Is this possible?

A. Certainly, but rancid does not provide such a mechanism natively.
Two

approaches are recommended:



1) Using your preferred mail-list software, add a list with a
digest

and configure your MTA (example: sendmail) to send diffs to
the

list. Configure the mail-list software to force the digest
at the

interval desired. This allows folks to choose which type
they

prefer, after each collection or every N hours.

this is a function of your maillist s/w, not rancid. See the maillist's
documentation.
