I can grep for these from my /var/mail directory, and they just appear in the mailboxes every so often. Most of my users are running Outlook or Netscape mail clients, and they download all the messages in the mail folders. I check my mailbox with Pine every now and then, but these other users get these in their mailboxes too. This just started happening with the new Sendmail that came with FreeBSD 4.2, and we also upgraded to Sendmail 8.11.2, but they still keep coming. Is there any new services that run periodically by default with 4.2 that would go through and put these messages in the user's mailboxes? I can't seem to find a pattern. The messages will appear overnight usually, but not always??? I've tried catching them and marking them "read" in the file, but the mail clients don't care, they download them and delete the mail anyway. I've seen a few other posts about this, but no solutions.
