Thread: mail and crontab

-

to start i'm new ubuntu , working in linux. in short, i'm trying email notification working through crontab running backup script plone.
i'm working off ubuntu 12.1 install.
story far.
setup thunderbird email connect companies exchange network using normal company email.
added mailto directive crontab : mailto=jreed@lfinance.ca, directive prior crontab directive , on seperate line.
did not work , wouldn't throw event mail.log or mail.err
did research , lead me installing postfix. when setup postfix gave me series of options of selected satellite sounded pertinent situation.
amended crontab read as:
# mailto=jreed@lfinance.ca
41 * * * * ../../usr/local/plone/zeocluster/bin/backup >> ../../usr/local/plone/zeocluster/var/backups/cron.log 2>&1 mail -s 'backup confirmation' jreed@lfinance.ca
the time set run after saved current job, changed later.
gave me log entry as:


apr 24 11:41:02 plone postfix/pickup[14988]: d5c98a20350: uid=0 from=<root>
apr 24 11:41:02 plone postfix/cleanup[15280]: d5c98a20350: message-id=<20130424184102.d5c98a20350@plone>
apr 24 11:41:02 plone postfix/qmgr[14989]: d5c98a20350: from=<root@lfinance.ca>, size=653, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
apr 24 11:41:02 plone postfix/local[15284]: d5c98a20350: to=<root@lfinance.ca>, orig_to=<root>, relay=local, delay=0.27, delays=0.23/0/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered mailbox)
apr 24 11:41:02 plone postfix/qmgr[14989]: d5c98a20350: removed


i guess i'm not sure going down here, , why sending root@ instead of jreed@
i'm guessing have setup postfix erroneously, not sure how correct , work current situation.
appreciated!

anyone have info or link on how setup postfix situation this?
fyi, email domain have here has been altered...

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
