Now I'm interested in the emails cron sends. Currently in /etc/crontab there is:
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin MAILTO=root # # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly # -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons >/dev/null 2>&1 so mail is going to "root". How/where do I set up emails to go to some external email address? Presumably more than changing MAILTO= is required - an smtp server needs to be specified somewhere? Or alternatively, can I access the emails currently being sent to "root" despite this not being a real email address? (I am googling, but not found anything useful so far...) Cheers, Roger (interesting that PATH includes /sbin which didn't help with my shutdown issue earlier!)
