Crontab & MAILTO
Hi there,

I'm working with two servers, one with FEDORA 6 and the other one with FEDORA 7, and if I put these lines in crontab:

MAILTO=MYADDRESS@mail.com
*/1 * * * * df -h

everything works fine on FEDORA 7 , while it doesn't work on6?!?...and I find this message in the log file:

MAIL (mailed 70 bytes of output but got status 0x0047 )

Any help would be really appreciated!
