Check the mail log in any case to be sure. Doh! I don't know why I hadn't already done that (and thanks to Per for also suggesting it). It makes things a lot more clear! :)
cron is sending mail for every cron run to root, which is being redirected to dhoworth on the same machine and is delivered to his/my local mailbox on that machine (which I don't use). I actually want mail to root redirected to my real mail address, so I'll need to dig around in the configuration to discover what I did wrong.
Just put a forward rule on that user so that mail is forwarded where you want it. For this to work for outside addresses your machine has to have postfix correctly configured to be able to send system email to outside, ie, have a real world name.
Why not use /etc/aliases to define that user or mail address Togan
