[cobalt-users] Qube2 with strange messages to root email address



Hi people,
 
I have just installed a Qube2 in a clients site which, like every Qube2 I have installed has required o/s level tweaking to get it to work properly.  I had a problem with mail not recognising the recipients of external email because of the way the ISPs POP3 server was changing the mail headers.  I sorted this by adding the line envelope "To" in /var/fetchmail/multidrop:localdomain to make sendmail read the recipient info from the "To" string in the mail header.
However, before I did this, my Qube2 started sending an email to root as follows:
 
Subject:
 
Cron: <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> run-parts /etc/cron.quarter-hourly
 
Body:
 
You must specify direct recipients with -s, -c, or -b.
 
Although this appers to be coming from the perl script which fetches the mail, I cannot see anything which relates to this message.
 
Can anyone tell me what it means and how I can get rid of it?
 
Any answers gratefully recieved,
