From: Ron Johnson on 9 May 2010 14:00 Has anyone else noticed that the recent Sid cron upgrade to 3.0pl1-110 from 3.0pl1-109 is now sending emails to null? (Yes, my crontab file has MAILTO="".) Attached is an example. Thanks -- Dissent is patriotic, remember?

I suppose this is a regression from fixing http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=577133 rev 487 seems to introduced this change, developper removed the code which distinguish between MAILTO defined to NULL, and MAILTO not present. I'm not a C expert, so I'm not sure I think Christian will fix this (If somebody tell it to him), becasuse he is very active with cron now :) (see changelog and rfh cron) Regards, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

At least some admins will have to adjust their configurations now... This would qualify for a NEWS entry.
