Long-running jobs time out MTAs #53

Right now, right as the job begins running, cronie spawns the mail command and pipes all output to it. For longer-running jobs and with mailers that connect to MTAs right away, the MTA times out after a certain time, completely losing any cron output.

Debian's crond fixed this 9 years ago (see also a relevant bug report).

And Debian is still patching Vixie Cron from the 1990's ... not a perfect reference.
