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
