These emails are automated diagnostic emails sent to a group of a few admins, so we get notified when a python heartbeat script, detects a failure in things like n/w connectivity, router status, etc. We dont use university email, we use gmail. Emile, Please don't presume people's intentions (that we are sending spam) & judge people without knowing anything about them.
