There are problems with syslog logging without installed sendmail.

For example:
May  4 14:12:00 <host> /usr/sbin/crond[1239]: (CRON) INFO (Syslog will be used instead of sendmail.): No such file or directory
May  4 14:30:46 <host> anacron[1582]: Can't find sendmail at /usr/sbin/sendmail, not mailing output
May  4 14:31:35 <host> /usr/sbin/crond[1239]: (CRON) INFO (Syslog will be used instead of sendmail.): No such file or directory

It's a little different on my local machine, but there should be fixed how is cronie working without sendmail and with(out) -s option. Reporter of the bug was complaining about the incorrect bug report in log file. I'm concerned more about my error messages. It's too much of them for one error.

May  7 15:52:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CROND[21209]: (root) CMD (mail blabl)
May  7 15:52:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CROND[21205]: (root) CMDOUT (No message, no subject; hope that's ok)
May  7 15:52:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CROND[21205]: (root) CMDOUT (/usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory)
May  7 15:52:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CROND[21205]: (root) CMDOUT (. . . message not sent.)
May  7 15:52:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CROND[21211]: (CRON) EXEC FAILED (/usr/sbin/sendmail): No such file or directory
May  7 15:52:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CROND[21205]: (root) MAIL (mailed 109 bytes of output but got status 0x0001#012)
