You don't need daemon running for that, I think. When I cared, cron used
sendmail (the executable binary), which delivers locally (the default is still
to simply deliver to /var/spool/mail/root) without connecting to any daemon.
Has that changed recently?

Unless you use an alias to forward root's mail to some other server, in which
case it will never leave the mail queue. But that's just one new step required
to make that kind of non-default setup work.
