Hello lists:
In my gentoo box, i am using vixie-cron as the cron daemon. The
version is sys-apps/vixie-cron-3.0.1-r5 .
In the configuration file /etc/crontab there is a VAR named "MAILTO".
Is it possible to set real email address here?
Such as: MAILTO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
or only for local user?
You can use any email address if a correctly configured MTA (exim, postfix,...) is running on that box.

I already has an mail system which contained Postfix, cyrus-imapd and openldap on the same box. And it works smoothly. But i found that whatever i have written in /etc/crontab/, the cron daemon would sent email to the default user (root).
I am afraid that i have made some mistakes with configuration. So, is it "MAILTO='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" correct or any other format?
Thanks
Wang
