Hi guys,
The obfuscated code has nothing to do with these mails. it is sent by cron daemon.When cron starts a process, it captures any output that reaches stdout and stderr, and sends that in an email.
The messages you saw is just warnings, don' t worry about it.
You can add MAILTO="" in /etc/crontab to avoid sending mails, like the following:
# cat /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=""
# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
35 20 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
