You're expecting the output of that SNMP walk to be mailed back to you?
 Check /var/log/maillog to see if there's any attempt to send e-mail out
of cron.  Check (via mailq and 'mailq -Ac') to see if the message is
stuck in the mail queue somewhere.  Examine the files in /var/mail to
see if the message was delivered to a different user mailbox than you
were expecting.

You can add a line at the top of your crontab to ensure email is sent to
a specific address, like so:

MAILTO=ipfreak at yahoo.com

	Cheers,
