#155109 - cron: sendmail can time out during extended interval of job execution
http://bugs.debian.org./155109
This bug may actually be debian-specific (for bad reasons); from the
diff.gz:
-#define MAILARGS "%s -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -or0s %s" /*-*/
+#define MAILARGS "%s -i -FCronDaemon -oem %s" /*-*/
* -or0s = Option Readtimeout -- don't time out
So the upstream code tells sendmail to not time out, but Debian
changes it to not use this, presumably since policy doesn't require
every package "providing" /u/l/sendmail MTA interface to support it.
Steve agrees that it would be preferable to write the output of the
jobs to an intermediate temporary file which is later read by
sendmail.
