And vixie cron (on Sarge) does not use the interface
named /usr/sbin/sendmail. It uses /usr/lib/sendmail.
The initial advice, iirc (and i probably don't) was to
replace /usr/sbin/sendmail with the 'sendmail binary from qmail'.
Whether this works or not depends on how you make the replacement.
apt-get install qmail
will work fine (after you build a binary package from the source
package) but there are lots of places on the net which advise you to
build qmail manually for debian and then all that you will do is break
your system and you may not miss your messages from cron until something
bad happens.
