System: NetBSD kechara.flame.org 1.2B NetBSD 1.2B (KECHARA) #0: Mon Oct 28 16:29:11 EST 1996 explorer@kechara.flame.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KECHARA i386

>Description:
cron calls /usr/sbin/sendmail directly, which causes problems for people
tracking current (can't easily replace /usr/sbin/sendmail because next
build will override it again) and not USING sendmail (I just installed
Qmail)

Perhaps the default mailer should be /usr/bin/mail, which will call the
correct mailer once /etc/mail.conf is set up correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run qmail and cron...  the mail drops in /var/mail/root.
