Hello all,I'm hoping for some help figuring out what's going on here.
I have a new dedicated Ubuntu server through Namecheap.
It uses cPanel and of course Softaculous for management.
The problem is that I get multiple email alerts per day to my admin address about software updates etc.
I already know about the Email Settings page on the Softaculous settings, but this page doesn't seem to be the problem.
When the server was new, this page was not populated. My email address wasn't there, the field was blank. I wanted to uncheck the options, but I was not allowed unless I added an email address to the field. I figured I'd add the admin address that was receiving the emails anyway, and then uncheck the "update notifications" but it didn't help.
So, I have had that "update notifications" unchecked for a couple weeks, but I still receive these emails daily "from Softaculous":

Deleting previous package files......Done.........and on and on...From Softaculous Cron Jobs (ht tp:/ s/##.##.###.223)
I see that last line about Cron jobs, but the only 2 cron jobs in my cPanel for Softaculous are backup jobs for what I think aren't even current installations but leftover from when I migrated from a different server?
Code /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php -d
disable_functions=""
"/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous"/cli.php --backup
--auto=1 --insid=586_95286
So, I don't think that cron job is causing these emails either.
I dunno what else could be sending these emails?
