Gary, Thank you for your reply. Your comments are informative but I still don't know what to do! For some reason, I am not receiving mail sent from cron to root. Therefore, I cannot see any of my (rather important) daily cron logs. I can send mail to root from anyplace else, either inside or outside the box, and it arrives at the forwarded location (ralph@maxsoft.com, an external domain). Can you think what might be going wrong?
