Email inside cron

[Bob Smith]

You might consider adding the -b flag to explicity set a source email
address.  You may find that LOGNAME or USER is not set in the cron
environment, and that may be part of the problem.  Try something like
this:

/bin/mail -s "${MsgHeader} finished." ${MailTo} -b ${REAL_USER} < ${logfile}
