Hello.

I'm on a OPENBSD_4_6. I use smtpd insted of sendmail. All works perfect 
with it, except one point. When a mail is sent from a crontab, the mail 
received has this in the header:

>  From: root (Cron Daemon)

I have no hostname, no domain, nothing. Just the user in the From part.

This case is only when a mail is sent from a crontab (crontab -e -u root). With 
this line for example:

>  */1     *       *       *       *       echo test

So, we wan't answer to this mail, or know who is the machine which send it. 
However, in other informations in the header, we wan see the domain in 
'Received' parts.


See my /etc/mail/smtpd.conf:
>  listen on sk0
>
>  hostname my.hostname.tld
>
>  map "aliases" { source db "/etc/mail/aliases.db" }
>
>  accept from all for local deliver to mbox
>  accept for all relay

See the end of /etc/mail/aliases
>  root:           u...@myprovider.tld


And, other question... Why "Cron Daemon" AND "root" are printed in my "From"?

Thanks.

Regards,
