Whenever cron (cronie-1.4.5-2.fc13.i686 on Fedora 13) sends mail to a non-root local user, e.g.:

  12 * * * * someuser echo test

postfix (2.5.9, built from stock source) logs:

> warning: the Postfix sendmail command has set-uid root file permissions
> warning: or the command is run from a set-uid root process
> warning: the Postfix sendmail command must be installed without set-uid root file permissions

Yet sendmail isn't set-uid, nor is crond:

# ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/crond
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  56880 Aug 13 08:53 /usr/sbin/crond
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 572903 Mar  4 23:15 /usr/sbin/sendmail

Would this be a crond bug?

Thanks.
