Crontab email issue
Hi,
I have a script that sends a db extract file as an email attachment.
I have a crontab created to run it everyday at 8 am..
00 08 * * * ksh /home/rtaaa/tbasd/report.sh > /home/rtaaa/tbasd/logs/report.log
When i just run the "ksh /home/rtaaa/tbasd/report.sh > /home/rtaaa/tbasd/logs/report.log" from the command prompt, the email will be sent out without any issues.. but when its triggered by the crontab, the email is not getting sent.. the whole script is running well except the email part.
This is what i am doing to send the file: "sendmail $ADDR < $MAILFILE"
I have been trying to debug this without success for a while, any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

SYNOPSIS
bashbug [--help] [--version] [bug-report-email-addresses]

sending it. By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash maintainers. The recipients can be changed
by giving a comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses.
If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent.
