You mention > a web form ... are we sure it's implemented correctly? That sounds right. I believe that most, if not all, Linux distributions use the same (Paul Vixie) cron that FreeBSD does.

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.
