Cron is sending mail to root
My sendmail service is stopped and cron sends mail to root, those mail get queued up in clientmqueue directory. I want to stop cron from sending mails. All jobs run under root. And cron sends mail to root. I have tried to set MAILTO="" in /etc/crontab, but its not working. Is there any other way to stop mails from cron to root? Thanks in advance.

Try appending the >/dev/null 2>&1 to cron job:
Code:
5 * * * * /path/to/command >/dev/null 2>&1 0 3 * * * /root/backup.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
