Installing sendmail did clear up a lot of entries.

I am not sure what is running the cronjob.

[root@fedora sudhir]# crontab -l
no crontab for root
[root@fedora sudhir]# exit
exit
[sudhir@fedora ~]$ crontab -l
*/30 * * * * /home/sudhir/.local/bin/rss2email/bin/r2e run
[sudhir@fedora ~]$ ps aux | grep crond
root      1206  0.0  0.0 128464  3112 ?        Ss   03:10   0:00 
/usr/sbin/crond -n

crond is being run by root user. crontab of root user is emtpy. Probably some 
system process is triggering cronjob.
