RE: (Fwd) Cron oddity

["Harig, Mark A." <maharig at idirect dot net>]

The instructions to run /usr/bin/ssmtp-config are in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp*.README.

There are three levels of documentation:

   1. /usr/doc/Cygwin/*  -- this contains Cygwin-specific notes.

   2. /usr/doc/*  -- this contains each package's additional notes.

   3. manual ('man') pages and info files -- general user-level
documentation.
