[gentoo-user] vixie-cron and ssmtp

[David Grant]

Cron is sending out an email for jobs run as user root, but not for cron jobs run as my normal user? Yet the funny thing is, when cron runs jobs as normal user, it still actually sends the mail to root (see /etc/crontab). And on the command line, I see the same thing either way:

Sep 14 14:43:01 sonata cron[16727]: (david) CMD (/home/david/scripts/encryptPass.pl)
Sep 14 14:43:01 sonata cron[16725]: (root) CMD (/home/david/scripts/encryptPass.pl)
Sep 14 14:43:02 sonata sSMTP[16728]: Sent mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (221 2.3.0 Bye received. Goodbye.)
Sep 14 14:43:02 sonata sSMTP[16729]: Sent mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (221 2.3.0 Bye received. Goodbye.)

Can anyone else repeat this behaviour?
