Operating Systems Solaris MAILTO Not Accepted In Crontab

it might be true.
it might be the case that the mail does get sent to the 'oracle' user [the owner of the crontab itself], but the sendmail [or whatever other MDA you're using] has been reconfigured and the sent email is simply getting 'lost en route' [having problems routing or somesuch].

try sending email from the same host logged in as 'oracle' from the shell command line and see it gets delivered properly. Otherwise start debuggin' the 'sendmail'.

I cannot send mail to my user
somehow the mail function has been knocked out

with regards to the mailto issue within the crontab
the partial crontab info that i posted earlier actually works
so basically having the mailto entry on its own line worked on 1 of our systems

I've raised a call with our support people and if they fix it il post the solution on here
