Some programs, most notably cron, expect /usr/sbin/sendmail to point to mailer program such as exim or ssmtp.
Due to a buggy "ln -s" (now fixed in coreutils-6.6-2, thanks to Eric Blake), a link /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe was sometimes created to point to /usr/bin/exim.exe, which does not exist. If this is the case on your installation, remove /usr/sbin/sendmail.exe and create the proper symbolic link: ln -s /usr/bin/exim /usr/sbin/sendmail Pierre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
