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.
