Looks like a cron job (sv_aliases) is sending this e-mail. FYI: When
cronjobs generate output to either stdout or stderr, they will send this
output to the e-mail address specified by the shell MAILTO variable. If
MAILTO is not set, it will send it to the user running the cronjob. In this
case, it looks as though the MAILTO varaible for this cronjob is NOT set
properly. i.e. the trailing \@?

In short... fix your cronjob script.
