There are cron.<period> directories in /etc that have this kind of info. But
I'd suspect it's a user (news I think) that has a crontab doing it. Look in
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/ for users and su into news or whoever, then run
'crontab -l' to see if it's doing it, and 'crontab -r', to clear it out.
