cron only sends an email if the job produces any output. If the script |
| 10 |
follows the *nix principle of succeed quietly, fail noisily, you should |
| 11 |
only get emails when things go wrong. However without seeing your |
| 12 |
mail-backup script, it is hard to say what needs to change. |

The "|| true " part means this cron task will always return success, even |
| 15 |
if the script fails, which possibly is not what you want. |
