I have tested now some things. At first i have write a short script like: echo $0 >> /tmp/bla ; env >> /tmp/bla Which is executed from cron, i get the following output: --- cut --- /usr/local/bin/testcron USER=root HOME=/root MAILTO=idefix@fechner.net LOGNAME=root PATH=/etc:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin SHELL=/bin/sh --- cut --- In the exim log i can see the following output if cron try to send the email: --- cut --- 2004-10-20 12:18:00 1CKDXc-000DVc-Ae <= <> R=1CKDXc-000DVb-A8 U=mailnull P=local S=701 2004-10-20 12:18:04 1CKDXc-000DVc-Ae => root@fechner.net R=send_to_smart_host T=remote_smtp H=ipv4.fechner.net [83.120.0.234] X=TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256 2004-10-20 12:18:04 1CKDXc-000DVc-Ae Completed --- cut --- Here in the first line i miss the receipiant adress.
