I am trying to setup yum-updatesd to send email notification when there are updates available to the
packages on my system. However, I am not receiving any notifications even though there are updates available (as seen in yum check-update)
I have verified that the yum-updatesd service is running.
This is my /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf:
[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 3600
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = email
email_to =
[email protected]
email_from =
[email protected]
# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for
# new updates
dbus_listener = yes
# automatically install updates
do_update = no
# automatically download updates
do_download = no
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = no
