It was Oct 6, 2000, 04:32, when Ronald J. Hall keyboarded:

Hello Ronald,
These mails are sent to you from the automatic system that runs through
Cron. These mails are composed by your own computer. All kinds of checks
are performed, on ports, world-writeable files and what not. Results are
sent to you by mail. This is nothing to worry about as far as happening.
If you do not want this to happen, you have to figure out which script
sends this (look at /etc/cron.daily/ and its contents) and remove what
script it is that you do not want to run.
