Hi,
Sorry, I'm still having trouble with this - my changes don't seem to 
have had any effect, cron is still sending mail as 
root at internal.hamcoll.sa.edu.au (Cron Daemon)
I think I've done something wrong!

What I did was:

#cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron
#ee config.h:
and I changed the line
  #define MAILARGS "%s -FCronDaemon -odi -oem -oi -t"              /*-*/
  to
  #define MAILARGS "%s -Froot at hamcoll.sa.edu.au -odi -oem -oi -t"  /*-*/

(I assume the # at the beginning is correct?)

then I did:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron# cd ..
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron# make
===> lib
Warning: Object directory not changed from original 
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/lib
cc -O -pipe  -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/lib/../cron -DLOGIN_CAP  -c entry.c
cc -O -pipe  -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/lib/../cron -DLOGIN_CAP  -c env.c
cc -O -pipe  -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/lib/../cron -DLOGIN_CAP  -c misc.c

cc -O -pipe  -DLOGIN_CAP  -c user.c
cc -O -pipe  -DLOGIN_CAP  -c popen.c
cc -O -pipe  -DLOGIN_CAP   -o cron cron.o database.o do_command.o job.o 
user.o popen.o /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/../lib/libcron.a -lutil
gzip -cn cron.8 > cron.8.gz
===> crontab
Warning: Object directory not changed from original 
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab
cc -O -pipe  -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab/../cron  -c crontab.c
cc -O -pipe  -I/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab/../cron   -o crontab 
crontab.o /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/crontab/../lib/libcron.a -lutil
gzip -cn crontab.1 > crontab.1.gz
gzip -cn crontab.5 > crontab.5.gz

(Are the warnings are harmless?)
Then:
# /etc/rc.d/cron stop
# cp /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/cron /usr/sbin
# chmod 555 /usr/sbin/cron
# /etc/rc.d/cron start

Cheers,
