Aha!  I was a little confused at first, because I didn't even know what 
dbmail-util was -- but I found the culprit.  The Fedora RPM creates a file 
/etc/cron.daily/dbmail which contains the following shell script:

#!/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/var/log/dbmail.log
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib/dbmail
echo "" >> $LOGFILE
date >> $LOGFILE
dbmail-util -c -t -u -p -d -y 2>&1 >> $LOGFILE


Per your suggestion, I've changed the last line to exclude the "-c".

Thanks Paul!
