+To use them with *crond*, you may need the *cronmail* converter script, which can accept sendmail-formatted mail and convert it into a suitable *mailx* call. You can usually set this script as a mail sender for *crond* using the *CRONDARGS* environment variable.

+# It is primarily designed to use with crond. To activate
