Can anyone tell me how to get the messages that come from cron to work correctly... they allways try to goto root account and end up getting frozen and error message gets sent to postmaster at my domain.
I've already set the email address in the cron.tab file but still email gets sent to root and bounced. Here is one of the messages sent to postmaster... any help would be greatly appreciated.
