[Bit-dev] Request for review of a bug report on debian (#985260 cron jobs error not mailed to user)

Hey folks, can someone please who knows good about cron have a look at this bug report. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=985260 The users expect that he would got a mail if there is a syntax error in one of his user-callback scripts running by cron. I'm not sure if this should be the default behaviour and which component is responsible for sending mails. For the letter I assume cron should do this. So I assume this bug is not related to Back In Time. Am I wrong? Kind Christian
