Sending email to gmail from cron
Looking for help sending email to a gmail address from my cron. At the top of crontab
MAILTO="obfuscated@gmail.com"

So, clearly, the IPv6 version is blocked, but the fallback gets a success message, yet no mail ever arrives. Same messages if I try using the command-line mail command. However, I can use the command-line mail program to successfully send mail to my company email address.

Thank you @ivanivan. Gmail was organizing all my cron output into the Spam folder, which is not displayed in the Gmail interface by default. (This seems like the right thing to be doing since the sender "root@myserver.novalocal" is pretty sketchy.) Once I displayed the Spam folder and looked inside, I saw all the cron output. (Look at me telnet'ing into mail servers and reviewing iptables.) Doh! ... Thank you again ever so much.
