Hi Arthur,
Sorry about my late response.

Another update:
I do have msmtp installed on this system in order to be able to mail
from php scripts. I have temporarily disabled it by moving .msmtprc out
of the way.
When I log in as another user on the system (Let's call her Mary) I can
do:
$ mail mark
Subject: Test Message
Just testing...
[CTRL-d]
EOT
and the message appears in /var/spool/mail/mark
But when I log in as Mark I get this:
$ mail mary
Subject: Testing internal messaging
Testing internal email
[CTRL-d]
EOT
[mark@Zaphod]$ send-mail: account default not found: no configuration file available
It looks like this is the crux of your problem. I presume you checked
mary gets mails for her cron jobs?
That said, I do not know enough about system mail to point you to
possible sources of your problem, however I would start by running mail
with the verbose flag.
Is this significant?
I would say, definitely so.
Hope this helps,
