crond errors

While going through the cron log with my scanlogs script, I noticed that the only errors present are those that say 'unable to exectute /usr/sbin/sendmail/'. Sendmail is a script of some sort that sends a message (to the root user, I believe) with cronjob info. However, /usr/bin/sendmail doesn't exist. You can also sepcify this messaging script in the config file, /etc/conf.d/crond, with the -M switch. So, I made a blank script, cronmailer, and had cron call it instead of sendmail.
