Indeed. The new mail processing code contains an error, it doesn't bail
out when it should on an empty MAILTO.
I committed a fix, it will be in the next upload.
Thanks. So I live with this minor aggravation for 10 days while it sits
in the NEW queue?
I don't know yet when the next upload is going to be. I think it will
rather be sooner than later because I consider this important.
If it can't wait at all, you can rebuild with the attached patch against
-110 (it's a one-line fix).

NEW is for new packages, the new cron package will be available in sid as soon as we make an upgrade.
