Sounds like there is an empty crontab for nobody.  Should be able to verify 
this by 'ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs/nobody'.  What if you try to remove 
it by running 'crontab -l nobody -r'?

Outlook can be forced into sorting based on header.  Open the email then click 
on View > Options.  Pick out the List-ID header and create a rule based on 
it.

Most of the lists I'm on will only make humor out of a posting by someone with 
an email address that coinsides with the list name.

I'm in the process of evaluating open source monitoring tools as well.

I've found Cacti to be the easiest to configure, especially with SNMP, but 
lacks alerting and only covers to performance.

Zenoss looks really really good, but I seem to get hung up on getting it 
configured to actually do anything.

I'm in the process of looking at Groundworks, but it is based on Nagios, which 
you'd like to avoid.

HypericHQ is another promising one -- haven't tried it yet.

Zabbix and OpenNMS are on the list as well.  I feel like there are a few more, 
but I can't recall at the moment.

So far, Zenoss shows the most promise.  I don't know what it is, but I have 
the hardest time wrapping my brain around its configuration.  Maybe it is 
because it has a unique modeling approach.

Hope these help.
