With this in mind I've found a simple and fast way to send emails without the needs to touch any system configuration.
Supposing that you want to launch the "ls /" command with the root user, you can write this line:
* * * * * root (echo "Subject: Cron
Within round brackets there's the subject, followed by the output of the command, followed by the recipient.
Simple, fast, secure.

Very clever! Thanks a lot
Here's a more in depth look at the issue and symlink fix.

Thanks! Great idea. I'm using it for auditing a couple logs.
