I run logwatch(8) to get cron.daily every night mailed
out to me. But in every mail there is this the
following entry -
----Cron Begin----
**Unmatched Entries**
error (bad mailto)
error (bad mailto)
error (bad mailto)
error (bad mailto)
----Cron End------
All the other entries like Disk Space, Pam Unix are
coming fine.
I had some invalid email addresses in /etc/crontab
which I have now corrected to root, eg.
"MAILTO=root". Also, the email address in
/etc/cron.daily/
00-logwatch is set to root.
I am not sure what is causing this annoying problem.
My mail is going fine from this box. Googling didn't
give me much. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Do I need to restart any services after changing some
entries in Logwatch?
TIA
