get cron to email mail app in high sierra
Hi
I've set up a task in cron, prefixing the command with MAILTO=myname@icloud.com
the task runs fine, but no email is received. What am I doing wrong?
thanks all

You first need to make sure that you are able to send mail from Terminal.
This requires setting a number of things to ensure that the mail command will be able to send mail outside of your machine.
I have found a few sets of instructions on how to do that, but I do not have the time go through it.
Search for "send mail from Terminal mac" or similar.
Alternatively, a simpler solution may be to incorporate the sending of mail into your script.
