RedHat /var/spool/mqueue issue

Hi guys .

I have a solaris machine serving as a DNS server for my environment. Everytime I go into /var/spool/mqueue , there are an aweful lot of emails with names likes:

qfqB6ChrpL006644.
When I cat the file , I get the following output:



Code:
H??Received: from machine.domain.com (machine.domain.com [172.21.5.17])
        by machine.domain.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id qB6Dk5ow015892
        for <user@machine.domain.com>; Thu, 6 Dec 2012 18:46:05 +0500 (PKT)
H??Received: (from user@localhost)
        by machine.domain.com (8.14.4+Sun/8.14.4/Submit) id qB6Dk0td018573
        for orb2; Thu, 6 Dec 2012 18:46:00 +0500
H??Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2012 18:46:00 +0500 
H??From: Orb Second Instance User <ouser@machine2.domain.com>
H??Message-Id: <201212061346.qB6Dk0td018573@machine.domain.com>
H??To: user@machine2.domain.com
H??Subject: Couldn't run your "cron" job
H??MIME-Version: 1.0
H??Content-Type: text/plain

It seems that crons from other machines are sending random mails. How do I identify on other machines the script that are sending these emails to my dns server. I want them to stop.

How do I ?SmilieSmilie

NAME
delete-instance - deletes the instance that is not running. SYNOPSIS
delete-instance [--user admin_user] [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--local=false] [--domain domain_name] [--passwordfile filename] [--secure|-s]instance_name Use the delete-instance command to delete the instance that you specify. The delete-instance command can be run both locally and remotely. To delete the instance locally, not requiring the administration server to be up and running, specify the --local option. To delete the instance remotely, the administration server must be running on the hostname and port number specified. The user authenticates using the password identified for the administration server. Additionally, the instance must already exist within the domain served by the adminis- tration server. Use this command with discretion since it is destructive and there is no undo. OPTIONS
--user administrative user associated for the instance. --password administrative password corresponding to the administrative user. --host host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance. --port administrative port number associated with the administrative host. --domain name of the domain. --local determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally. --passwordfile file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance). --secure if true, SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance. OPERANDS
instance_name name of the instance to be deleted. Example 1: Using delete-instance in local mode asadmin> delete-instance --domain domain1 server1 Deleted Instance server1 successfully Where: the server1 instance for the domain1 domain is deleted on the local machine. Example 2: Using delete-instance in remote mode asadmin> delete-instance --user admin --passwordfile passwords.txt --host localhost --port 4848 server1 Deleted Instance server1 successfully Where: the server1 instance for the domain associated with the specified user, passwords in the password file, host, and port number is deleted on the remote machine. EXIT STATUS
0 command executed successfully 1 error in executing the command INTERFACE EQUIVALENT
