How to reproduce:
1. Put in crontab:
* * * * * false
2. Wait
No mail is ever sent. It is very unclear from crontab(5) under which circumstances a mail is sent.
Cron will, to my knowledge, send an email when output is produced. The return code from whatever was executed is irrelevant. Try adding this to your crontab: * * * * * echo blurp -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
