Just want to make sure you saw my response to your original post Subject: user crontab?

The MTA has to be running in order for mail from cron to be processed.

Robert doesn't want to put an MTA in. It looks like the cron -m argument lets you specify the command used to dispatch email, normally sendmail. However, by using procmail he doesn't need an MTA because he's having procmail do delivery directly. In that circumstance you don't need an MTA and therefore, you don't need a running MTA.

Personally I'm having trouble finding the doco for the -m option, and also don't know where he's putting this setting.
