I've a problem with cron, it does not send email
when the job is done.
I read " /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron-4.1-6.README"
and followed all the instruction but nothing email 
( the jobs in crontab are done ok ).
My /var/log/cron.log is empty, there is no 
$HOME/cron.log, the exim log doesn't specify anything
about cron emails, my /etc/aliases is

postmaster: Proprietario
nobody: Proprietario    
root: Proprietario      

I added to my crontab MAILTO ( even if I read it is not
necessary ) :

# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.                       
# (/tmp/crontab.fh8FmSF6p5 installed on Sun Jul 20 14:15:14 2008)              
# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $) 
                                                                               
MAILTO=Proprietario                                                            
59 18 * * 6 /bin/backup.sh                                                     
17 14 20 7 * /bin/prova.sh

I searched with google, but I did not find anything about this.
