No.

I am still trying to figure it out. What I find disconcerting is that it 
seems the cron job fails because the email fails. The program I call in 
cron runs fine if called from the command line.

Never had this problem on a i386 machine, that's why I thought maybe it 
was AMD64.. but most likely it's a Postfix setting.
