Raw message 

My apologies everyone.
As the Grase hotspot was originally written for a specific location, 
cron emails got sent to my monitoring address. It would appear that in 
my releasing the code as open source, I've missed locations that still 
contain that email address.
My quick grepping of the source shows 2 cron files that have that email 
address (/etc/conf.d/grase*) which need to be made customisable (as I 
don't expect all admins to understand email aliases, so it needs to be 
changable by the admin interface). I also realise there is a database 
backup script that may still be hard coded.

As the site that the hotspot was originally written for is no longer 
active, it appears my monitoring account (which I no longer check) is 
probably full of emails, and backups. These will be purged as soon as 
possible, and a filter setup to send any more emails to /dev/null

Again, my apologies about this, this is a relic left in from pre-release 
days (as I was using debian packaging before I released it to the 
public). It's possible the grase-conf-monit package is also hard coded.
