I'm using stock RedHat 7.3, and I've tried this with courier 0.42.0, 0.42.2, and 0.42.2.20030630 and cron jobs run as root email the output fine. In fact I've got a bunch of crontab lines which make dial-up connections at certain times to send and receive mail and my root account (well the account that root is aliased to, of course) gets a nice little email each time with the all the pppd stats (as you would expect). So it's definitely something particular to your setup. Sorry I can't give you any more help. Have you tried messing with the "MAILTO=" line in the crontab and see what happens?
