Hi.

I set up a Mailserver and put this line into crontab to fetch my emails using fetchmail:

Code:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -s -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

To prevent the mailterror that followed I added

Code:

MAILTO=""

before that line. So far so good. But something is driving me crazy. Until I've found that MAILTO="" I saw a lot of hints in other mailing-lists that prefered following notation to prevent mailing of cron-job output:

Code:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -s -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" > /dev/null 2>&1

This never worked!

Can someone assist?
