Ouch! Now I'm getting a test message from cron once a minute. My inbox is overflowing! :( I'm sure this didn't happen on previous installations, when I've opted to receive system mail. I can't find anything in the postfix main.cf file to help me adjust this behaviour.
No, the adjustement has to be in cron. Or rather the precise job that generates those emails. Can you post a sample? If it is big, put it on pastebin.

As a matter of interest, when I tick the box to receive system mail at installation time, which parameter in which file actually gets changed?
/etc/aliases
