That's odd as cron only checks its tables once a minute. It's almost as if there's a script in a loop with a "sleep 20" or something akin to it inside the loop or a program doing the same.
I read 20/second as 20 times per second.
It's interesting that they split this into two RPMs. One would think a single esmtp RPM should provide all the stuff needed--or at least make esmtp dependent on esmtp-local-delivery so this condition can't happen.
esmtp-local-delivery is a configuration for esmtp that delivers locally. Without that package, esmtp can/should be used for relaying to an external host. Keeping esmtp-local-delivery separated means that the esmtp package doesn't need to pull in procmail.
There are a couple of odd things here on M. Fioretti's system, though. One: ssmtp is (as far as I can tell) the default MTA for workstations. The other is that the version of esmtp available for Fedora 25 doesn't complain that there's no esmtprc file, according to my tests. I've checked both 1.2-4 (available at release) and 1.2-5 (available from updates).
So, removing esmtp is one solution. cronie doesn't appear to depend on /usr/sbin/sendmail, so that should work. Other applications do, though, so that might not work if OP has an application installed that needs a sendmail binary. In that case, replacing "esmtp" with "ssmtp" is probably the best option.
