Figure out what is generating the alert and fix the problem.

What is generating the alert? Is it EMS? Is it a homegrown script? Something else?

What do the alerts say? Do they indicate a problem?

You haven't really given us much to go on.

Where is the alter coming from? It sounds like you may have a script running that looks at file system sizes.

Find that script and modify it.

Start by looking in root's crontab and see if there is anything there.

We don't know your environment and can't access it. There's no way for us to tell you definitively how to fix this with the information provided.

Shalom,

You have a script on your server generating the email.

The proper procedure to stop the email is to figure out what script is sending them and change the address in the script or stop running the script.

Check the email header, it might provide clues.

copy and paste the content of email, complete with headers for us to figure out how it is getting sent. Otherwise all you will get is the speculation about how it gets generated. You might as well have HP OpenView or some other monitoring platform, watching the capacity and alarming you periodically for full filesystems.
