I changed root /var/spool/cron/
to
/home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp 2>&1 >/dev/null
I am using redhat 7.3 and I get:
No manual entry for sh
When I run the command:
man sh
Thanks,
Sam

How do you edit "clearopensmtp" to change the "2>$1" to "2>&1" ?
probably by running 'crontab -e' as root: the redirect is not in the
clearopensmtp command, but in the command that the cronjob is running.
Actually, replace the command run by cron with:
/home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp 2>&1 >/dev/null
since the one that is running in your server is missing the redirect
from STDOUT to /dev/null.

"man sh" is not working. How to tell the "man" command where to look to
find man pages fro sh?
with the MANPATH env variable, but the 'sh' manpage should be there..
what OS are you running? What error do you get when you run 'man sh'?
hope this helps,
