Just want to make sure you saw my response to your original post Subject: user crontab? The MTA has to be running in order for mail from cron to be processed. What I did in my rather late response was to just install and start postfix. I made no configuration. And I think that is what you were looking to do. Just get mail in the local inbox for cron jobs. Am I missing something? -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions.
