Someone wrote a modification to the sendmail script that removes the
extra parameters. Here is what I have for /usr/bin/sendmail
# nano /usr/bin/sendmail
-------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z $MAIL_ROOT ]; then
export MAIL_ROOT=/etc/xmail
fi
newargs=`echo "$*" | sed -e 's/ \-odi//' | sed -e 's/ \-oem//' | sed -e
's/ \-oi//'`
/usr/sbin/sendmail.xmail $newargs
I do not know if this is the problem because cron is the only program
that doesn't work. PHP works fine.
