This is a bad idea, mainly because (as you already know) it doesn't work :)

If you want to use that syntax above, use mail(1) instead of sendmail.

However, you might find it easier to just add the following line to the
top of the crontab:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Which will cause all mail generated by the jobs in that file to be sent
to the provided address.
