It's undoubtedly one of the anacron jobs that's trying to send root the
results of one of its jobs.  My guess is that it's the diskcheck
routine (launched via /etc/cron.hourly/diskcheck).  You can stop it by:

1. Commenting out the line in /etc/crontab that runs it, OR
2. Commenting out the "MAILTO" line in /etc/crontab, OR
3. Install the procmail RPM and have root get hourly reports

You didn't install the procmail RPM, did you?
