Receiving email from logger sysadmin

Question

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I've been receiving the same emails in my INBOX over and over again at every 10 minutes with subject "System Log Message".
FROM: <logger@sysadmin>
To: [email protected]
If I view the email header details, I gathered they come with the Public IP address of my netgear router. My SBS server 2003 sits behind this netgear router. Initially, I could tell which of the machines is actually sending that emails out to my mail server. 
I then tried to troubleshoot it by isolation one component after another.
So I started off with turning OFF the netgear router with SBS 2003 machine ON. At this stage, I got 0 (zero) of that emails in my INBOX
Then, step 2: turn ON the netgear router with SBS 2003 machine OFF. After 10 minutes later, I received 0 (zero) of the emails in my INBOX
Next, step 3: turn ON the netgear router with SBS 2003 machine ON. At this stage, I don't have any other LAN PCs turned ON except for SBS 2003 Server. After 12 minutes later, I began to receive the emails in my INBOX - one after another at the time interval
of 10 minutes.
The problem is I don't recall if I did anything to tell the server to send syslog in the past.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi James,
Just an update. I still keep getting emails from logger@sysadmin so the same problem still persists.
Initially, I thought it was due to the problem with google update service (gupdate) that is unable to automatically start. I removed google toolbar via "add/remove programs" and had also changed it from automatic to manual under Services. I don't know what
else to check. There must be something that is not working properly and that triggers the server to send an automated email with "system log messages".
Any other ideas?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
You mean you are using the Google App to semd emails from the
logger@sysadmin to [email protected]?
I think you'd better involve the Google app mail to verify the issue. I think the mail flow could be like this:
logger@sysadmin - Relay to the Google App mail
-> Google App mail system (Accept the request) - forward to your mailbox
-> [email protected]
So you need to verify whether the Google accept this service account's request. I think the main point here might be related to the Google app mail.
