New comment by paper42 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/32341#issuecomment-893665232 Comment: `-s` makes cronie log to syslog instead of sendmail even if sendmail is installed, that's probably not what users expect and it would be a breaking change. A proper fix would be to either add sendmail to dependencies or make a patch which fixes this and submit it upstream. but: Fedora removed sendmail from dependencies in 2010 and they still don't have it: > remove sendmail from requirements. If it's not installed, it will log into (r)syslog.
