No, these are sent every day by logwatch.  I'm running a server 24/7; so 
logwatch runs as a cronjob.

But, the patches out don't fix the issue totally.  That would require a 
complete re-write of the DNS and how DNS works.  This is something 
already in the works.
The patch just makes it more difficult to trigger the issue.  I'm using 
the patched version of 9.4.2-P1.

Just look at your root email, if you check it or leave the computer ON 24/7.
