I tried this and it worked.  So, cron is working, but the mail isn't
getting out.  I checked 'mailq' and it shows quite a few msgs...

Next, I looked over my mail config file.  Luckily, I use RCS and noticed
there was a recent change in there that I had forgotten about.  I use
postfix and I changed the message_size_limit to be like 20 megs or
something.  After removing this change it all worked.  Very odd that this
would have an affect.

Thanks for the help.
