That doesn't work, but adding '> /dev/null' or '-s' in crontab does. The latter seems simpler, so that's what I've done. It doesn't explain why the problem suddenly arose last Sunday after I made a simple editing change in .fetchmailrc & nothing like this had happened before with the same crontab & ssmtp.conf : perhaps there's an obscure bug, but the irritating problem has been resolved & I have other jobs today. Thanks for the helpful advice (smile). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
