That makes better sense. Just when you are not expecting it and the logic is not clear... }:O> ----- Original Message ---- From: Pierre A.

Right. That's because cron requires a sendmail and if you install cron on a system without a mailer then the postinstall script links sendmail to cronlog. cronlog is written so as to return an error if not called from cron. If you install ssmtp or exim and run the xxx-config script, it will offer to point sendmail to ssmtp or exim. I don't know what mailutils does in that respect.
