Geoffrey Corey resolved INFRA-10542.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

The kernel cleaning script has been fixed. For any others in puppet, set the environment portion to 'MAILTO=""' and it will make it that cron will not be emailed out.

> Cron jobs from puppet are spewing mail, and ENOCARE. 
> Email is also a poor mechanism to let us know that something is wrong, esp when it is something that sends a dozen emails every night, if we need monitoring/alerting, lets do that in something that we will actually pay attention to rather than something we ignore. 
> In example, look for this subject for messages: 
> Cron <ro...@mysql1-us-mid> /root/purge_old_kernels -y
