after some researches I found a solution to stop receiving error emails but I am not persuaded, I would like to resolve the problem instead to avoid it. the "solution" can be to comment de cron line in : /etc/cron.d/sendmail Code: */20 * * * * smmsp test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp
