1 According to:
2 https://wiki.webevaluation.nl/sending_e-mail_with_ssmtp
3 ssmtp has no local e-mail so it can not send cron output to /var/mail/user

5 But from posting at:
6 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/69133/where-is-the-setting-for-sending-email-to-a-system-user-with-ssmtp
7
8 Aliases for TO: addresses would normally need to be set in /etc/aliases, but SSMTP doesn't read this! Instead, you need to edit /etc/mail.rc and add a line such as
9 alias root root<yourname@×××××××××.com>

11 Can anybody verify it?
