    Hi All

    I have my LAMP setup so that the system emails me updates whenever there is something going on.
    Since a few days ago, every hour, I keep getting an email from my Cron:
    Code:
     Cron <clamav@server1> [-x /usr/sbin/clamav-unofficial-sigs] && /usr/sbin/clamav-unofficial-sigs
    The system is working fine, but I would like it to stop filling my inbox every hour. Maybe instead a summary once a month or something like that

    what can I do?

    Regards,

    Heeter

    You can e.g. redirect the cron mails into a separate mailbox (not your normal mailbox) and check this mailbox less often.

    Thanks

    Which file and where would it be located on the server for me to change the email address?

    You can redirect the mails e.g. with /etc/aliases file. When you edited the file, run the command "newaliases" to apply the changes.
