Cron & ssmtp timeouts


Hello,

I have a few batch jobs that I would like to schedule using cron and have 
the output e-mailed. For small jobs this works fine but for jobs that run 
for a period of time no e-mail is being sent. Instead after snooping around 
I found this error message in /var/log/cron.log:
/usr/sbin/ssmtp: connection lost in the middle of processing, exiting.

It is very difficult if not impossible to split the job in smaller parts so 
each part could be launched in a seperate cron job.

Any ideas how to solve this ?

Gerrit.
