Humm, no. MDAs are invoked by the local MTA. If you have no local MTA, then the local MDA is never invoked. This feature is about not doign local mail delivery by default, by not installing any MTA. Instead you find the log output of cronjobs at the same place as you find any other log output, the journal/syslog, for example accessible via: journalctl -u crond or systemctl status crond (the latter will only show you 10 log lines by default, the former all of them. You can pass "-n 100" to either to see the 100 latest ones) Lennart -- Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
