1 Cron is sending out an email for jobs run as user root, but not for cron
2 jobs run as my normal user? Yet the funny thing is, when cron runs jobs as
3 normal user, it still actually sends the mail to root (see /etc/crontab).
4 And on the command line, I see the same thing either way:

6 Sep 14 14:43:01 sonata cron[16727]: (david) CMD
7 (/home/david/scripts/encryptPass.pl)
8 Sep 14 14:43:01 sonata cron[16725]: (root) CMD
9 (/home/david/scripts/encryptPass.pl)
10 Sep 14 14:43:02 sonata sSMTP[16728]: Sent mail for
11 root@×××××××××××××××××.net (221 2.3.0 Bye received. Goodbye.)
12 Sep 14 14:43:02 sonata sSMTP[16729]: Sent mail for
13 root@×××××××××××××××××.net (221 2.3.0 Bye received. Goodbye.)

15 Can anyone else repeat this behaviour?
