Unfortunately, vixie cron (the upstream code) does not differentiate between message severities, which is why I'm downgrading it to 'wishlist'. This deficiency has been pointed a few times already and I fully agree that such a feature would be useful, so I intend to implement a patch for it. It will have to wait until the upgrade to 4.1 though. Christian
