Hi,
I've been experiencing a strange problem with one of my hosts (I think, since

Mail setup is very basic, just exim that delivers to the main server
Why do I become so clever AFTER asking for help?
Anyhow, I have solved the cron not sending email problem.
The cron log file contains lines like this

I have a jail where the www user runs hourly cron jobs. On rare
