In "/etc/crontab" I have:

# for cronie

# Global variables
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=syscon8
HOME=/

But when it run a cron-job, the email is still going to "mailto:[email protected] " instead of mailto:[email protected]

How to adjust the entry to the email notification will go to a specific user.

Specify the full email address instead of just a username.

What job is run? Some jobs has their own configuration to where the mail
is sent.
You could give an example...

Does it work if you try:

MAILTO="[email protected]"

restart cronie but system is still emailing it to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

I suppose you want email delivered through an external email server. I
had to configure the MTA for that, nullmailer in my case, it's not
cronie's job.

I've tried single quote, double quotes, but it doesn't work; now even
without quotes I don't get email from cronie
After every change I restart "/etc/init.d/cronie restart

My simple cron entry:
55 12 * * 1-5 mv /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/* /home/thelma/mon/

I should receive email from cron

What errors do you get from your MTA in your logs? Increase verbosity if you need to get more info.

You probably have in your /etc/postfix/main.cf:

myorigin = $some_user@some_domain.com

where some_user@some_domain.com is not [email protected], but root@*?

relay=smtp.gmail.com[142.250.99.108]:587, delay=1.3, delays=0.02/0.01/0.55/0.68, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK

Aug 31 13:24:02 i5 postfix/qmgr[32301]: 0880F17E00EB: removed

Gmail is accepting the mail but it is sending to "root" instead of "syscon8"

My cat /etc/mail/aliases
# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root

# General redirections for pseudo accounts.

exim: root

You can grep your postfix files for root and root@ to find the culprit. It seems your postfix configuration is rewriting the 'Send As' name, if not whole address. My Postfix knowledge is rather out of date, but current users should be able to advise with a specific fix for this problem.

OK, I expect you'd need to set an alias instead. Try:

My cat /etc/mail/aliases
# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
# Redirect mail for local recipients
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root
root: syscon8

or try:

root: [email protected]


then run 'newaliases' each time to rebuild the database. One of these aliases ought to work.

delays=0.01/0/0.5/0.03, dsn=5.1.3, status=bounced (host smtp.gmail.com[142.250.99.109]
said: 553-5.1.3 The recipient address <root@[email protected]> is not a
valid RFC 553-5.1.3 5321 address.

my /etc/postfix/sender_canonical
/^root@gmail\.com$/ [email protected]

I don't think you should be using canonical - this will be rewriting addresses within the header *and* body of messages.

Use an alias instead.
