That sounds right.  I believe that most, if not all, Linux
distributions use the same (Paul Vixie) cron that FreeBSD does.
Different versions, maybe.  The source of the mails is the right
question, I think.

And the next question would be "can you get a simpler cron job to mail
output"?  I used "ls $HOME" as a job on my person crontab, with MAILTO
set to another machine, and the output showed up there as I expected.

Be well.
