FAQ
Q: What do these strange mails with '#********' from cron mean? A: If you enabled the debug option for an account in the Mail Retrieval panel in the server-manager you will possibly receive mail from Cron Daemon with the subject "Cron <root@YOURSERVER> /etc/startmail". The mail contains patterns like this: #********. You will stop receiving this mails if you disable debugging for all configured users in the Mail Retrieval panel in the server-manager.
