Re-reading earlier messages, are the commands in question being
invoked out of /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.daily, etc. or user-level
crontabs?
The "mailto" value is crontab file specific, so setting it in
/etc/crontab would only effect commands run from there (a file that
isn't used much any longer). As the /etc/cron.daily, etc. jobs are
now run from /etc/anacrontab you'd need to adjust the "mailto" in
that file for things run that way. If run from a user-level crontab
the "mailto" needs to be in that user's crontab file. [cron.hourly is
run out of /etc/cron.d/0hourly, not anacrontab, and has its own
"mailto".]
