cron and MAILTO

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

How does cron decide whom the email will send to? 

I know setting MAILTO is effective for individual crontab jobs, since the 
whole cron job will be run under a single user id. But how about the cron 
jobs under /etc/cron.d/? 

I know normally cron will send emails to whoever the job is owned/
launched by, but if I put a MAILTO at the top of the file, will all 
emails be then sent to my designated MAILTO user id, instead of to 
different users that own/launch the jobs? 

Thanks
