• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Not getting daily cron emails

Hi,
I don't seem to be getting my daily cron emails like I'm used to on my old hosting server. It's never worked with this new server.
System is plesk 9.2.2 w/ qmail.
I updated the qmail alias for root to be my personal gmail acct. I also edited /etc/crontab MAILTO=<my gmail acct>
Is there something I need to do to tell cron to send the email to the right place?
Is cron using "sendmail"?

Confused...

Joe
 
Hello,

Actually it is recommended to use /bin/mail utility in order to send mail messages via command line.

As you can see on your server:

-bash-3.2# ls -alrh /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Dec 20 2008 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta
