I DIDN'T TOUCH ANY SETTINGS ABOUT CRON.BUT SUDDENLY THIS MESSAGE IS ALL OVER MY INBOX. :( what is this??????I also noticed ,usually everyday more than 200 spam accounts was created on my site.But yesterday there was no spam accounts at all .I installed the anti spam to block one user using his IP address ,because he is my competitor.AFTER that one user complained he was been flagged as a spammer.So i deactivated it and then today morning i uninstalled it.I also noticed some users are not getting any emails either.Not in spam or inbox,especially the gmail ones.

Joseph, emails like in your first screen shot is a normal thing to receive. Those emails are sent every time CRON runs. So if your CRON runs every minute, you will be getting email every minute.

If you do not want an email to be sent for an individual cron job you can redirect the command's output to /dev/null like this: mycommand >/dev/null 2>&1

There should be a tickbox on your Cron settings page which you should uncheck if you don't want to receive your Cron's output via email.

Also, make sure you have Watchdog plugin installed - it would prevent your website from spammers.
