The email contain exactly:
----------------------------------------
Subject: Service monitor
From:webmin@host.com
Body:
Monitor on ['my hostname'] for 'Network Traffic'
has detected that the service has gone down at Fri Mar 28
09:30:01 2003
I have this email in every singel minute, but of course, with
diferent date and time

Is march 28 actually the date on the latest message? If so,
maybe there is a bunch still in the mail queue that have not
arrived yet.
Also, run the command crontab -e as root to make sure that
any job referring to status.pl has been deleted. Also,
delete it from any files in /etc/cron.* as well.

Unfortunately this date is not from the latest email. The date
and time in the webmin email is always actually.
crontab -e is empty, and so the /etc/cron. excepted the
cron.daily:
aaa_base, aaa_base_clean_catman,
aaa_base_clean_instlog, aaa_base_do_mandb,
aaa_base_updatedb, webalizer, aaa_base_backup_rpmdb,
aaa_base_clean_core, aaa_base_clean_tmp,
aaa_base_rotate_logs, postgres

You did run crontab -e as root, right?
If the email has the current date and time, the only place
it can be coming from is a cron job ..
Or is it maybe from another system?

Hi!
I didn't find the source of my problem, the root crontab file is
empty, i stopped the cron process, i removed the hole
webmin and webmin componens, and a was waiting for 3
days, but the emails still coming. Just one email/minute with
the actually date and time. I think there is somwhere a
serious bug, i don't know is in my cron or webmin. I hope that
is just in my system.
The final solution was to rebuild the hole system, and i'm
affraid to use the webmin anymore, especially the system
and server status.

Have you tried checking for a running process named
monitor.pl and killing it? Maybe somehow the webmin status
monitor is still running as a background process..
If you stopped cron and they still kept coming, maybe the
source is actually another system?
