Every 2 hours I see something getting delivered to mlmmj@mail.mymailserver.net. It creates an email in /var/mail/mlmmj and the content just says find: =E2=80=98/var/vmail/mlmmj=E2=80=99: Permission denied

Is there a way to stop this or do I need to disable something? I do not use mlmmj. Below is the log entry:

Re: Every 2 hours message gets sent to mlmmj

check permissions of /var/vmail/mlmmj

if you don't use mlmmj, you can disable it's cronjob, that will stop those mails

Can you confirm what the permissions and owner should be for this directory?

My cronjobs are below but I do not see anything related to mlmmj?
30   3   *   *   *   /bin/bash /var/vmail/backup/backup_mysql.sh

# iRedAPD: Clean up expired tracking records hourly.
1   *   *   *   *   python3 /opt/iredapd/tools/cleanup_db.py >/dev/null

# iRedAPD: Convert SPF DNS record of specified domain names to IP
#          addresses/networks hourly.

Re: Every 2 hours message gets sent to mlmmj

that are the cronjobs for user root, mlmmj has its own cronjobs and the directories should be acessible for that user aswell

regarding to install script, /var/vamil/mlmmj should be owned by mlmmj:mlmmj with 0700 persmission
