Do you happen to use LDAP on that machine, or have some
other unusual user-authentication scheme configured?

There has been a similar case on the German FreeBSD-
question mailing list recently (i.e. cron refusing to
send mails, and the same error message from the MTA),
and it turned out to be the fault of the local LDAP
installation.
