I did what I probably should have done in the first place, and found the
problem. Idis-abled all the scripts in /etc/cron.hourly and then enabled hem
one by one.I discoverd that a script called sysstat was the problem. It runs
a program called sadc "System activity data collector" and according to the
man page, the parameters in the script cause it to run 6 times at 10 minute
intervals (BINGO - a total of 50 minutes between the first and last run).
Now, all I have to do is learn a bit about sadc and decide if I want it to run
that way (or at all).
BTW, I'm guessing that what looked like a postfix problem is normal behaviour
since postfix is probably waiting for the programs spawned by cron to finish.
