It’s being rejected before it even reaches the mailbox, so forwarding won’t work. Crond should really be using the MAILTO variable and it’s not.
Have you restarted crond after you made the changes?
P.
An explicit restart of crond shouldn't be needed as it should automatically reload the changed file the next minute, e.g.:
Jul 20 01:44:01 ... crond[1464]: (*system*) RELOAD (/etc/crontab)
but if that's not being logged, then then that might indicate an issue with crond.
