My mistake. I have the same as you quote above in /etc/crontab. My previous quote was taken from what is displayed in System Settings > Advanced > Task Scheduler.
Oops :-)
Then, that file is correct.
Then have a look at "/etc/sysconfig/cron", you should have:
SEND_MAIL_ON_NO_ERROR="no"
Yes, that's what I have here.
Otherwise, it is some other job. Do "ls /var/spool/cron/tabs/", it will list what users have personal cronjobs. Then, use "crontab -u user -l to list that job.

But surely, it has to run to check whether there are any pending cron jobs?
