Root crontab emails not being delivered
Just experienced an issue in cPanel v11 where root crontab emails aren’t being delivered. The jobs in /etc/cron.*/ work OK, but jobs in /var/spool/cron/root are failing to send emails to the root forwarder. It’s most likely a bug in the cPanel exim routers in v11.In the meantime, if you experience this problem, you can work around it by adding:
crontab -e
Then at the top of the root crontab set MAILTO= to your email address, e.g.:
MAILTO=me@mydomain.com
