1 Hello, folks --
2
3 Is anyone using cron (vixie-cron) without a real MTA and getting
4 emails? The test is simple, just "echo hello world". I expect this
5 to come as an email to the address I put in MAILTO="". But it doesn't.
6 No dead.letter to be found either.
7
8 Not having found any examples of folks using ssmtp to mail cron errors,
9 does anyone have an experience to share, or advice (short of installing
10 an MTA)?
11
12 Or, if this is totally possible, can I get help to eliminate possible
13 config errors by some method?
14
15 Cheers,
16
