The way I got round this was to set an alias in /etc/aliases
root: emailaddress@somewhere.com, \root
then run newaliases.
This way I get a copy sent to root and a copy to the other email address specified.
Isnt there a possibility just to set the email adress that cron mails.. I want to recive all other mails that root recives, just not that silly mail from cron

To stop cron mailing have a look at crontab(5) and the example given. Extract.. In addition to LOGNAME, HOME, and SHELL, cron(8) will look at MAILTO if it has any reason to send mail as a result of running commands in ``this'' crontab. If MAILTO is defined (and non-empty), mail is sent to the user so named. If MAILTO is defined but empty (MAILTO=""), no mail will be sent. Otherwise mail is sent to the owner of the crontab. This option is useful if you decide on /bin/mail instead of /usr/lib/sendmail as your mailer when you install cron -- /bin/mail doesn't do aliasing, and UUCP usually doesn't read its mail.
