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:

quoted text
>  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:

quoted text
>  */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:
quoted text
>  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
quoted text
>  root:           user@myprovider.tld


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

Thanks.

Regards,
