functioning, and without user (ldap) e cron is not sending emails. The
log for cron is:

MAILTO=gandalf
The "gandalf" user is a local user on the system. I can send local
mail to this user using the "sendmail" postfix program (checked twice).
Cron is still not sending emails. Any idea
Cron is still not sending emails. Any idea?
Is there any output in the 'maillog' log?

Thank you for the help. I changed the script to run Weekly instead of Daily.
If it was starting while it was still running, this should fix it. I'll post
