Greetings:

Everytime something runs from the the crontab for a given user such as root, I
get an email with the results of the execution. I am running a few crontabs that
run every 2 minutes and this gets to be a lot of excess email. How can I turn
off this feature.



#man 5 crontab


In addition to LOGNAME, HOME, and SHELL, cron(8) will look at MAILTO if
it has any reason to send mail as a result of running commands in
``this'' crontab. If MAILTO is defined (and non-empty), mail is sent to
the user so named. If MAILTO is defined but empty (MAILTO=""), no mail
will be sent. Otherwise mail is sent to the owner of the crontab. This
option is useful if you decide on /bin/mail instead of /usr/lib/sendmail
as your mailer when you install cron -- /bin/mail doesn't do aliasing,
and UUCP usually doesn't read its mail.
