further info:

reinstalled cronie

received duplicate cron error emails that mairix failed for existing
lock.file

but mairix_database *was* updated

Apparently cronie is starting *three* instances of:
  */10 * * * *    /usr/bin/mairix -p > /dev/null

The first is successful and the other two fail

rpm -e --nodeps cronie
reinstalled cron


This information was added to the bug_report bnc#580438
