mail...@... is a list, not a person. There is no point in adding mailto=mail...@... to Mailman's crontab as that is where the mail goes by default anyway and steps 1 and 2 should ensure that the appropiate person/people receive it. Step 3 is only if you want to bypass the mailman list entirely and deliver these cron errors directly to a person, but for ease of maintenance, it is probably better not to do this and to deliver the errors to the site list as long as it's configured so someone actually recieves the mail. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
