I'm looking for a couple solutions.
I want to have my cron and log daemons to email the results of certain (or all) tasks to me at my gmail address. What's the best way to approach this?

OOps, wrong thread. Mod's feel free to move this to Networking.

Well you can do the following:

mail -s "Cron Log `date +%m-%d-%Y`" user@gmail.com < /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

Thanks! I get this error though:

Code:

send-mail: Cannot open mail:25
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1
