Subject: from address of cron emails


| Hi,
| 
| I'm running cron through cygwin, using ssmtp.exe as the sendmail 
| replacement.  It seems that none of cron's e-mails are getting through, 
| because my SMTP server rejects "root (Cron Daemon)" as a valid From address 
| in the outgoing e-mail.
| 
| Is there any way of changing this?

Interesting. You are the first to mention this, so there is probably a way.
Have you tried running ssmtp-config and setting FromLineOverride and/or
rewriteDomain? 
FYI ssmtp is called with the following command line:
"-FCronDaemon -odi -oem -oi -t". I think ssmtp ignores all of them except possibly -F
Still FYI, exim with the default conf file rewrites to
From: root AT the DOT local DOT domain (Cron Daemon)
 
If you find a solution, please let us know.

Pierre
