TIA, Simon. Simon, this is how I have my rkhunter cronjob setup /usr/local/bin/rkhunter --cronjob --createlogfile -c and I have the following entry in my /etc/crontab: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] therefore all cronjob outputs are sent to my email address, this includes my Spamassassin statistics outputs, hourly logcheck output, and rules_du_jour output.

Thanks for that Chris, my Mailto is root which has not been a problem in the past as I have just put the email address in the pipe.(Pre the last fresh intall of Mdk 10.1) The problem is that there seems to be no mail package???
