Cron on qmail not sending me logs

[Ralph Dratman]

Gary,

Thank you for your reply. Your comments are informative but I still 
don't know what to do!

For some reason, I am not receiving mail sent from cron to root. 
Therefore, I cannot see any of my (rather important) daily cron logs.

I can send mail to root from anyplace else, either inside or outside 
the box, and it arrives at the forwarded location (ralph at maxsoft.com, 
an external domain).

Can you think what might be going wrong?


Regards,

Ralph
