The maillog says that the mail for the cron jobs were sent.
I will check with our network administrator.

Thanks,

Nestor :)

It's odd that it happened on both servers at the same time.

You can check the log file for some clues to whether the mail was sent
at the proper time.  /var/log/maillog

Issue the 'mailq' command to see if the que is empty.  If you get a list
of waiting mail, restart sendmail and see if it's delivered.

The problem could be caused by either cron, or sendmail.

I don't know what the TTY log file is.
