Hello Mike, You probably have cured the symptoms... ;-) Your cron command has very likely been built for making use of the sendmail command. When facing a "naked" recipient address such as "vmail", Postfix' sendmail will look for an alias, then for a system user bearing that name. There's probably no alias for "vmail", but you clearly have a system user named "vmail"; so, sendmail will proceed with a local delivery for user "vmail". So, you could for example define an alias: vmail: yourself@your.virtual.domain since you're potentially more interested than user vmail in the messages emitted by the cron job. Or add such a line to your crontab: MAIL=yourself@your.virtual.domain so as to override the default recipient, ie the user the job runs as. HTH, Axel
