You are sending mail.

You mean the default security, daily, weekly, and monthly scripts?
Have a look at where they are run out of crontab,

  $ fgrep periodic /etc/crontab
  59      1       *       *       *       root    periodic daily 2>&1 | sendmail root
  30      3       *       *       6       root    periodic weekly 2>&1 | sendmail root
  30      5       1       *       *       root    periodic monthly 2>&1 | sendmail root

You can make some changes here if you don't want to send
mail. But it is going to be hard to turn mail off completely
everywhere.
