MAILFROM in crontab solved the problem. I wonder if it's because this is a different version of postfix or because of the move from Mandriva to Mageia. In any case, thanks.
BTW - based on your suggestion, I wanted to look at the MTA logs and discovered that Mageia's logs are in a completely different format - no more individual log files as in Mandriva, but journalctl - another new thing to learn about :-) On Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:52:31 +0300 Oleg Goldshmidt <p...@goldshmidt.org> wrote: > Shlomo Solomon <shlomo.solo...@gmail.com> writes: > > > After moving from Mandriva 2011 to Mageia 3 I have a minor annoyance > > with CRON output.
