Ignore the previous cron messages. It seems that the mail is going

/home/sdstern/.forward contains
\root(a)sterndata.com
which is a valid, external email account
but mail sent to "sdstern" goes to "sdstern(a)sterndata.com", which is
another valid external email account. I found all my missing cron mail
there.
$ ll .forward
-rw-------. 1 sdstern sdstern 21 Jan 3 10:51 .forward
Apparently, this has been going on since December 13.
And my workaround is to add "MAILTO=root(a)sterndata.com" to the top of my
crontab. The mail now goes to the right place.
