Problem description:
I have successfully installed and tested ssmtp in my xbian system. The problem is that I receive a bunch of emails each minute
as defined in my /etc/crontab (reset, kill, check and get), unless I stop it using:
Normally, if I set the "MAILTO" to an empty string, the problem is solved, however I have no write permissions to modify the file crontab.
I have already tried modifying
as the default "xbian" user as well as " nano /etc/crontab" by logging as root, still no permission to write.
Although finally I could successfully modify "crontab -e" (i dont really understand the difference between this command and the normal nano or vim access), the spam emails kept coming
Google says it's something about file attributes, some people solved using a "chattr" command but it didn't work on Xbian
Any solutions for this annoying problem ?
