In your cron script, put "env" command before the mail command.  Send output
to some file.  In your interactive shell, compare output of "env" to cron's
output.  Set environment to that of cron's environment, try to mail
interactively and see if it fails.  If so, add whatever variables are
necessary to make it work, in the cron script.

Another issue with cron is that the standard i/o is different (no tty).
Not yet sure if that's an issue for your situation, or how to go about
working around it, if so.
