That's because Cron just calls the 'mail' program, which doesn't give as
much control over the email headers as webmin can achieve by calling the
real sendmail/postfix/qmail mail injection program..

You can adjust this in the Sendmail Configuration module, on the Module
Config page. However, it would probably still complain about not being
able to find sendmail.cf , and so assume that Sendmail is not installed.
