That is not correct. Do not add -A as it will disable all outputs
configured in snort.conf.

Instead, add the following to snort.conf:
output alert_full: alert.ids   (for full, multi-line output into
alert.ids)

output log_ascii:     (for full packet details in /var/log/snort/<ip>)

These can be used for emailing from cron.

Using these two will preserve anything else in snort.conf, like database
logging.
