Emails from cron to root

[Rogerio]

Hello,

I'm not receiving emails from Cron, because it returns that [email protected] is invalid...

Like: (myhostname replaced the real fqn)

2018-11-06 10:42:02 1gK0gE-0006VR-Qs <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=815 T="Cron....

In Edit System Mail Preferences the Forward mail for “root” to is correct to my real email.

Where is the problem?
Thanks.

Hi @Rogerio

What's the mailto address set in the crontab? Either for the user or for root (if set for root)?

 

[Rogerio]

Hello @cPanelLauren,

it's the root's crontab "crontab -e"

I need to set [email protected] forcefully?

Hi @Rogerio

You'll need to set that mailto to whatever email address you want cron jobs to send mail to. I'm assuming at some point it got changed as the mailto= portion isn't usually filled out.

Hello @cPanelLauren,

yes, it was not set. In fact, I learned about this variable yesterday.

Thanks
