Matt,
It's not a server issue; I have ssmtp installed, and can send email just
fine with the "email" program via the site email server.
Problem is, I need to get emails from cronjobs - tried putting
"MAILTO=<my email>" at the top of the crontab, no change.
What's the email trick with a crontab under Cygwin? Found one note that
the /use/sbin/sendmail symlink needs to be changed to an actual program to
send email (i.e. /usr/bin/email), but no change.
Thanks!
Lee
