In article <e287b896-b6a4-3d88-77de-20164cfcd014@htt-consult.com> you write:
It is what cron is doing, though. Why put something in broken? It could have done rgm@localhost.
On systems with regular mail software, the cron output goes through a submission server which cleans up the address headers and adds Date and Message-ID and so forth. I'll be intrigued whether they accept your report or say it's not their problem.
One more thing to include in my cron bug report. Already going to complain no Date: as to when the cron task started. All you can do is stick in a Date: header of when the task finished.
Well, your command can be something like date; do-something; date and the timestamps are in the message. I do that for stuff that runs a long time. R's, John
