It's probably worth capturing any stderr messages from the dspmq command
too, just to check that the command is successful:

0 * * * * root dspmq 2>&1 | mail -s "MQ Result" some.rcpt@mail.com

Another thing to check: is the local root user being delivered any mail
regarding this output?

BTW: the /1 is superfluous as '*' means 'every'.

After changing the cron configuration, the mail contents is still blank, and I have the error below in the mail for root. I checked the archived and says it only needs LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 but its already defined for root and mqm users.

From: root@localhost.localdomain (Cron Daemon)
To: root@localhost.localdomain

The other 2 things to check are:

1: Are you sure you need the word 'root' in that line? The standard crontab
layout does not include the users' name, and I think it's unlikely that RHEL3AS
would have chosen to break with convention.

2: dspmq may not be in the path when the crontab is executed, you should always
use the full path in crontab files.
