Getting the same email almost every time I open macOS Terminal

Question

Almost every time I open Terminal on macOS I find new mail sent somewhat (10 identical emails, or sometimes more). I believe something I did or installed caused this, but I couldn't figure out what is it?

Does anybody know how to stop this?

Answer 1

It would seem like these are cron generated error notifications. Have you added something to your crontab perhaps? Or some application named along the lines of triliterally that may have added a cron entry?

Check your crontab with crontab -l. If you see that there is an entry that seems to line up... and you don't know what it is, use crontab -e to edit your crontab and just commment out that line with a leading "#". Save it and then see if the email stops.

If it does not... and it does actually happen every time you open a terminal... check to see what you have in your .bash_profile or .bashrc files looking to see if there are relevant entries there.
