    Removing MAILTO=web from /etc/cron.d/anacron stoped the mailing so it
    does seem to be coming from there.
    /etc/anacrontab is set to 1:05
    /etc/cron.d/anacron is set up as 1:30

    It seems they are both running. In all probability the system was
    re-booted after my original /etc/anacrontab changes since I have to
    regulary boot into windows to see if web designs are OK in IE.

    I am replacing MAILTO=web in /etc/cron.d/anacron &, for consistancy, and
    # ing out anacrons line

    Will let you know outcome
    Dave
