When a user creates a cronjob, the default setting is to send all output to their useraccount-mailbox. This is a setting at the bottom of the 'cronjobs' page, called "Send all Cron output to E-Mail". Much customers have a cronjob running every minute and are not aware of this setting, which cause to send a email every minute to their default account (which they don't check). One mail has a size of 4KB, which leads to 349MB per month. Because of this many of my customers hit their quota limits very fast, of course.

Is their any way to set a blank email-address as default for this setting?

Thanks in advantage,

if you want to blackhole cron emails you have to set MAILTO=""

Not sure how you do it with directadmin though.

You might have to request a feature request.
 
I want that as the default setting for all user's, yes. So when an user wants to mail the output of a cronjob he has to conscious choose for this.
