Same problem here. The error message is not produced every time, but sometimes I receive a bunch of them. Then it stop making noise until another bunch of them. Today I found the problem. In the files: /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron the line exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf must change to LANG=C exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron LANG=C exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf than it will work The real problem is this line:
msg = MIMEText(''.join(self.output))
from /usr/sbin/yum-cron
If the message contains non ascii char's it crash.
This will happens, because yum will generate it output in respect of the system language. So there are two options, first fix from comment #5 or fix /usr/sbin/yum-cron by change
msg = MIMEText(''.join(self.output))
to
msg = MIMEText(''.join(self.output),_charset='utf-8')
