I finally got around to grabbing the source to vixie-cron to try and figure
out more of what's going on. The call to sendmail/qmail looks like this:
/usr/lib/sendmail -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -or0s root
an associated comment explains:
/* -Fx = set full-name of sender
* -odi = Option Deliverymode Interactive
* -oem = Option Errors Mailedtosender
* -or0s = Option Readtimeout -- don't time out
*/
So, anyway, the 0x006f is obviously a 111, or a soft error.
We can't very well expect programs that call /usr/lib/sendmail to know what to
do about a 111 return code, can we? Should that progrma mask 111's into 0's?
