Debian/Lenny - user cron jobs sending status e-mails Some time
ago I lost e-mail send capability on a remote server - probably
when I upgraded to Lenny. Yesterday I finally got around to
visiting it and got the capability back (the router has a
dynamic IP address so I needed to find out what it was to
connect remotely - I have a job on the server that had been
e-mailing me when it changed).  Anyway, I'm now getting an
e-mail message each time a cron job completes. Now I appreciate
getting error messages sent to me, but is there a way I can turn
off e-mail when a job terminates normally?  Specifically I have
three jobs that are run as root through crontab (in addition to
the anacron jobs Debian places there, which are also run as
root). One runs hourly so I'm getting 24 e-mails a day telling
me that it worked. The other two are run overnight once per day,
so they are not so annoying but one alread
