    hey guys. last time my hosting provider banned me when they saw too many emails being sent out from my server. the emails were due to a CRON job i was running. everytime the cron job an, i got an email.

    if i make the "send email to" field while setting the CRON job blank, does it mean no email will be sent out? wanted to confirm thhis :)
