I receive too much mail from the cron daemon
When I open Terminal on my Mac, the first message I get is that I have new mail. I type mail in Terminal to find i have multiple messages I do not have a clue about.
Example:
id EAE8513B8E2B; Thu, 5 Apr 2018 10:34:52 +0200 (CEST)
From: username@MacBook-Pro-3.inetcensor.local (Cron Daemon)
To: username@MacBook-Pro-3.inetcensor.local
Subject: Cron
/Users/username/Library/anchorless.ww/anchorless.ww cr
X-Cron-Env: SHELL=/bin/sh
X-Cron-Env: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
X-Cron-Env: LOGNAME=username
X-Cron-Env: USER=username
X-Cron-Env: HOME=/Users/username
Message-Id:<20180405083452.EAE8513B8E2B@MacBook-Pro-3.inetcensor.local>
Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2018 10:32:52 +0200 (CEST)
Status: O*
(Ed. Note: The values for the X-Cron-Env lines are surrounded by angle brackets, removed here due to formatting issues in this forum's software.)
The weirdest thing is that my mac tends to generate anchorless.ww file which doesn't contain anything in it. I also tried to find it on the web but got no results, so I'm not sure whether it's a malicious file or just a file just intentionally generates itself (even when I delete it).
P.S. inetcensor.local is a firewall that my organisation uses to keep people from accessing sites we don't need to use (like Facebook) and also I/we need to use proxies to access the web.

It sounds as though you should talk to your local IT about why their Security Gateway is generating so many messages.
