Any new cron setup will send emails to apache user... output should be redirected to /dev/null

/dev/null 2>&1

So we should append the above to each cron.

Would be even better if it was an option that you could set.

Well your fix may be seen as a problem to some but a good feature to others, perhaps some like having it on so they can debug problems by checking the cron emails. If the emails you can empty the mailbox every x days just like you might clear logs automatically. Just my 2 cents

/dev/null is a fix needed otherwise the postfix queue will be flooded with a lot of emails for root/apache user!
If you want output for debug execute manually your cron & that will do it fine!
We are fixing an issue here not adding feature that's the priority.
