Any ideas what could have changed during the updates?
TIA,
Randy

Re: CRON email no longer forwarding
HP-UX hp9ux3 B.11.11 U 9000/800 112414650 unlimited-user license
Embarassingly, 754 patches were applied to get our server current. Yes, there was sendmail updates.
I have been playing around with command line email sending and have discovered the following as well that may be some indication of the problem.
As root, I ran:
la a*b*c | mailx -s test user@host.com and it sent the email to user@host.com just fine.
When I run it as the other user with cronjobs, I get
ksh: host.com: not found
I also notice that when trying to enter an fully qualified address in elm to test, as soon as I type the @, everything already entered is deleted.
That would seem to indicate another error with the regular user, but I don't get the cron emails from root either and I don't have the "@" problem with the root account.

I don't think this is your crontab problem. The problem with "@" is that you need to change the stty(1) settings so that "@" isn't the kill char. Also you need to fix erase, "#".
You need to fix your .profile.

Re: CRON email no longer forwarding
This isn't allowed, a security breach.
Change to a=r. You may have to change it to allow read to just the user: u=r
> MAA21074: forward /usr/informix/.forward.hp9ux3+: World writable directory
You need to remove "o+w" from /usr/informix.
>successfully sending a test using the ls piped to mailx left this is the log.
This doesn't use .forward. (I assume user@host.com is a different machine.)
