In Ubuntu 12.04 you set the $REPORT_EMAIL in /etc/default/rkhunter. Perhaps that differs between the desktop and the laptop?

Hi,
at least the OpenSuse distribution do send emails with the output
from cron runs, usually to 'root@localhost'.
That behavior has been consistent since many OpenSuse versions
including the 12.2 (latest?).

The behavior can be traced though parsing crontab, "-*/15 * * * *
root  test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons
/dev/null 2>&1".
/etc/crontab shows:

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts
--report /etc/cron.monthly )

Extract from '/usr/lib/cron/run-crons':
# CRON Result EMail is sent to
if test -z "$MAILTO" ; then
   SEND_TO="root"
else
   SEND_TO="$MAILTO"
fi
Debian is a little different. As I said in a previous post:

/etc/cron.daily/rkhunter looks like this (in part):

case "$CRON_DAILY_RUN" in
      [Yy]*)
         OUTFILE=`mktemp` || exit 1
         /usr/bin/nice -n $NICE $RKHUNTER --cronjob
--report-warnings-only --appendlog > $OUTFILE
         if [ -s "$OUTFILE" ]; then
           (
             echo "Subject: [rkhunter] $(hostname -f) - Daily report"
             echo "To: $REPORT_EMAIL"
             echo ""
             cat $OUTFILE
#          ) | /usr/sbin/sendmail $REPORT_EMAIL
           ) | /usr/bin/msmtp $REPORT_EMAIL
         fi
         rm -f $OUTFILE
         ;;
       *)
        exit 0
        ;;
esac

which looks right but C (I presume that's what it is) isn't my strong
point.
Also /etc/anacrontab contains:

# These replace cron's entries
1       5       cron.daily       nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily
7       10      cron.weekly      nice run-parts --report
/etc/cron.weekly
@monthly        15      cron.monthly nice run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthly

Unless I'm missing something it all looks right. BTW as I've also said before
This is all identical to my desktop box which faithfully sends me a
report every day.

I remain perplexed.

Thanks for the effort. Anyone else have an idea?
