Hi,

How about your /etc/mail/aliases file.

Here you can specify the address that needs to receive these mail.

Hi,

basically as above, just need to have an entry such as

root : whoever@where-ever.com

in /etc/mail/aliases

then run /usr/bin/newaliases

only problem would be all root mail would then go to that mail address. (assuming it's root's crontab you want mail from)

Thank you Clemens van Everdingen,
I have done what you say me :) :

(In file alias, I have put all the line with root to administrator@firm.com)

I have killed the process, and execute newaliases but the process send always to root.
