Hey, I have another odd problem. Cron refuses to send any emails. Here's what DID work: -Sending email via /usr/bin/mail on command line -Having a crontab run a script which in turn sends an email -Piping the output of a crontab command into /usr/bin/mail. Such as having the following in a crontab: /bin/cat /home/user/todo_list | /usr/bin/mail staff@domain.tld But if I have this line in my crontab: 25 0 * * 1 /bin/cat /home/user/todo_list No email is set to the owner of the crontab. I also tried defining $MAILTO in the crontab. "MAILTO=staff@domain.tld" When the crontab SHOULD be sending an email (But doesn't), I get the following error in my maillog: Jun 25 14:19:00 server1 sendmail[24291]: m5PIJ0sS024291: from=user, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msgid=<200806251819.m5PIJ0sS024291@server1.another.tld>, relay=user@localhost nrcpts=0 means that there are no recipients, afaik. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
