This is the "Admin" account, Jeremy do you have root access? If so, and if as
you say you don't need the mail, then just delete the mail spool (usually
/var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user). If you don't have root access, the
call somebody who does and have them do it. I guarantee that will get rid of
the problem:-)
