Cron Help + MX question

Greetings,

I have two quick questions.....

1. (cron Help) I need to send the stdout+stderr of a
cronjob to an additional email address.

eg. 30 * * * * /usr/local/bin/dosomething

Its stdout + stderr would get mailed to
owner.....Looking for a way make
it send to an additional user (I tried some funny
ways, which i knew wouldn't work)

eg. 30 * * * * (/usr/local/bin/dosomething) >> - 2>&1
|mail some@user < -

Any clues? Both, job owner and additional address must
be emailed .

2. (MX Question) I am in a Campus environment, and
just finished setting up sendmail-8.14.5 for one
additional Tru64 v4.0G (Used same sendmail.mc
file like other 4 machines I have)

It sends email out fine, but incoming is the problem.

I ran #nslookup

> set q=mx (then)

>this_system.com (and results show a wrong MX
record)

Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx#53

this_system.com mail exchanger = 0
other_system.com

It is supposed to point to its self. On what side are
the corrections supposed to be made? (DNS servers
managed by another group. I dont run it on local
system. And how did the other_system.com entry get
there in the first place....so config problems there
or here locally? I am convinced it is no wrongdoing on
my part)Please advise.

_Thanks

Richard
