I don't think it is working properly. Version 3.0.1-8 was working a
little better, the new version sends this to my console instead of
running the task:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: can't open the smtp port (0) on mailhost.
Why?
Also, I'm inclined to think that crontab.exe also needs some
tweaking. If I edit my tabs with Vi (yikes!), the tasks are run. I
mean, now I get that error above. But if I edit a file with my ever-
so-stunning Windows text editor and run
crontab file.txt
... all tasks are skipped.
