Run the cronjob as the user who want's his/her mail.
See crontab(1) for more information on how to do that.
Keep in mind the format of these crontabs is different than
/etc/crontab. IIRC, the crontab(1) manpage should give you the
format... it does under Solaris, but I don't have a Linux machine with
the manapages installed handy.
Good luck.
