Now I have, MAILTO= in /etc/crontab, but that does not help. Still mail is sent to root. Is it because I am running crontab of root? i.e. crontab -e as root? If yes, where and how do I insert MAILTO= in that file?
For records, MAILTO= does not work in user's crontab. I has to be MAILTO="" I haven't yet tested this wholly. Maybe someone else can comment.
Cron will by default mail the output to the user the crontab belongs to, but if you want the mail to go somewhere else you may specify it in the variable. You may also give an empty MAILTO variable ( by writing "MAILTO=" in your crontab). Cron won't mail any mails to an empty address ...
