Well I'm not contradicting myself intentionally... I should have been more
clear. I'll do a better job this time:
Cron is trying to send out an email for jobs run as user root to and
succeeding. Cron is also trying to send out an email for jobs run as a
normal user but it seems to fail at this. Both cron jobs (whether run as
user root or normal user) are both trying to send the email to the root
user.
Either way, the solution may be to set MAILTO in your user's crontab.
I could try this, although I as I said it seems like both jobs run as root
and normal user are both being sent to user root (according to the MAILTO)
