It works fine for all users except for root, where it has no effect at all. >How-To-Repeat: Add a MAILTO=someotheraddress line to /etc/crontab to modify root's crontab. Note that cron job mail is still sent to the same address as without the MAILTO line. >Fix: No known work around. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
