Hi! My problem is that cron won't send out mail, anymore regardless of
what I set the MAILTO-variable to in my crontab. This worked as
expected before, but I can't remember what happend around the time it
stopped.
The system is FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, and regular sending of mail like
"echo foo |mail lars@cl.no" works without problems. It's only cron that
appears not to supply the target email as specified in MAILTO.
What is wrong here? I don't really know how to debug this. Can
crontabs be executed verbosely somehow? I see I'm getting these errors
in /var/log/cron
--
/usr/sbin/cron[3940]: getting vmemoryuse resource limit: Invalid
argument

..might that be it?
An error message could look like this:
Subject:
Mail failure - no
recipient
addresses
Date:

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore
no
delivery could be attempted.
