Or complete the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf and revaliases with the info I have sent you in this thread and set MAILTO=root in your /etc/crontab. I would think that your ISP providers in the US will be blocking outgoing port 25 to stop compromised MSWindows machines spamming the rest of us. If you use my suggestion there shouldn't be a problem. If your internet connection is down for some reason, you should get deadletter files in /root/ with the output. -- Regards, Mick
