I'm on Suse 6.1. The way things get set up, the system has a
propensity to mail me all sorts of little notes - "The system sure has
changed recently," or "Look what I've done now" or "Look what you've
done now". Spam. So I set options to tell it to shut up, in YaST. YaST
is their setup program; it runs 2 dozen scripts when you change
anything, but then I don't have to know Unix to run yast ;-)
Something keeps mailing me this, however, even after being told not to,
and it looks like an error. I wonder if it's important, or dangerous?

This one appears to have been generated in the last half an hour, and
all I've done is sort e-mail.
