mysterious outbound messages to root@localhost

Post by gob »

Hi

I'm just building a new Znuny server based on the 6.2 feature branch rather than upgrading our old production server.
I'm close to having the configuration replicated but noticed a lot of failed emails in the communication log - several a minute. Even though the system is currently not in use.

These messages are trying to be delivered to root@localhost and our SMTP relay service is rejecting them due to the non-routable email address.
I have changed the email address for the root@localhost agent in case that was causing the problem but these emails are still being sent and rejected.
A sample is below.
Appreciate any help tracking down how to change that system email address or what these messages are?

thanks
