[Wylug-help] Receiving cron messages

[Anne Wilson]

I run several cron scripts to backup parts of my data.  On this new laptop I'm 
having problems with the generated mail.  I have added a MAILTO into each of 
my own and root's crontab, though at the moment I'm only concerned with my 
owned scripts.  Whether I have missed something in the syntax, or whether 
there is something else I have to do, I don't know, but currently the cron 
messages go into my local mailbox instead of my external address, which the 
MAILTO sets.  The reason I want to change this behaviour is so that messages 
arrive on my mail server, not just on the laptop.  

Any idea what I might have missed?
