You can claim that all you like, but it is wrong. I already posted the
output of strings /usr/sbin/cron, but here is an excerpt from strace,
too:

execve("/usr/sbin/sendmail", ["/usr/sbin/sendmail", "-i", "-FCronDaemon", 
"-oem", "hjp"], [/* 12 vars */]) = 0

(That's cron-3.0pl1-86, just in case that behaviour changed at some
point since the release of Sarge).
