I have two boxes running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. AFAICS their configuration is identical. On both machines, I put at the end of /etc/crontab: 14 8 * * * root echo test On one machine root receives a mail with "test" as the boby of the message while on the other machine I have no mail. Here are the relevant entries in /var/log/maillog: Jul 21 08:14:00 pollux sendmail[61144]: k6L6E0l1061144: from=root, size=236, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200607210614.k6L6E0l1061144@pollux.miage.univ-paris12.fr>, relay=root@localhost Jul 21 08:14:00 castor sendmail[11872]: k6L6F0mP011872: from=root, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200607210615.k6L6F0mP011872@castor.miage.univ-paris12.fr>, relay=root@localhost I'm really confused. Can someone shed some light? Regards, Thierry.
