Symptoms
-
Plesk Administrator receives a lot of notifications about Anacron job "cron.daily".
-
Anacron configuration file
/etc/anacrontab
contains theMAILTO=root
line.
Cause
This is expected behavior. By default, Plesk creates an alias for the root
user using the Administrator email address that specified in the Profile page, so the messages that were sent to root
are redirectred to the specified mailbox.
Resolution
To stop notifications from being sent, modify the /etc/anacrontab
file:
-
Connect to the Plesk server via SSH.
-
Open the
/etc/anacrontab
file in a text editor. In this example, we are using the vi editor:# vi /etc/anacrontab
-
Remove the
root
user from the MAILTO line in/etc/anacrontab
config file:...
MAILTO=""
... -
Save the changes and close the file.
