my question is the title "how do i get cron to stop sending me emails ???" I'm using vcron. It sends users an email every time it executes something in their crontab.

Make sure your cron jobs aren't outputing anything to stdout or stderr, otherwise you'll get mail.
For example:
| Code: | | 5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -v >> /dev/null 2>&1 |
You might consider just using '> /dev/null' in case you want to recieve error messages.

Add the following line to the top of your crontab:
'man 5 crontab' for more details. |
