Subject: [gentoo-user] crontab questions

1 Is there a way to remove "Cron <root@hostname>" from the subject line of
2 crontab mail without piping each cron job to 'mail'?
3
4 I set 'usermod -c hostname root' on each of my systems so that the From:
5 line displays "hostname" for crontab mail. This works on each system
6 except the mail server itself which still shows "Cron Daemon". Can crontab
7 mail from the mail server be made to display From: "hostname" like the
8 other systems?
9
10 I'm not completely clear on how cronbase works. Can this crontab be
11 integrated into the system crontab via cronbase or should it be run as a
12 separate user crontab for root?
