According to crontab(5):
...
In addition to LOGNAME, HOME, and SHELL, cron(8) will look
at MAILTO if it has any reason to send mail as a result of
running commands in ``this'' crontab. If MAILTO is
defined (and non-empty), mail is sent to the user so
named. If MAILTO is defined but empty (MAILTO=""), no
mail will be sent. Otherwise mail is sent to the owner of
the crontab. This option is useful if you decide on
/bin/mail instead of /usr/lib/sendmail as your mailer when
you install cron -- /bin/mail doesn't do aliasing, and
UUCP usually doesn't read its mail.
...
Which should just do what you want ;-)
