Emails every 30 seconds

Visseroth

I just upgrades to 2.6 from 2.5.2 and I've had this error for a while..

18:47:07 There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:155: could not parse host specification - The line in question reads [155]: rdr pass on ix0 inet6 proto tcp from any to ::192168421 port 80 -> ::1 port 8081

18:48:00 There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:155: could not parse host specification - The line in question reads [155]: rdr pass on ix0 inet6 proto tcp from any to ::192168421 port 80 -> ::1 port 8081

and haven't fixed it.
I read somewhere it was a bug so I was ignoring it.
HOWEVER, after the upgrade I now get this in my emails ever 30 seconds
I've disabled SMTP notifications.
I had the Mail Report package installed, it has since been removed but I'm still getting these notifications.

Update:
Disabling SMTP notifications, uninstalling and then rebooting stopped the constant emails.
More testing required to see if they'll persist after re-enabling notifications and what have you.

@viktor_g Yea, I fixed that error with a patch here...

The problem was the continuous emails every 20 to 30 seconds.

The fix for me was to uninstall mailreports, disable SMTP notifications under "System -> Advanced -> Notifications" and reboot.
Uninstalling and disabling wasn't enough, the emails kept going, a reboot is required following the disable and uninstall.
After the reboot the emails stopped. I then enabled SMTP notifications and a couple emails came through but not continuously.
Later I then reinstalled mailreports and everything seemed to be normal and continues to look normal as I'm not getting blasted with the same error in my emails.

Keep in mind that prior to disabling and uninstalling I had already done a couple reboots.
First reboot was after the upgrade
Second reboot was to try to get the emails to stop
Third reboot was after disabling SMTP notifications and removing mailreports.

I wanted to at least post it on the forums that this had happened in case others ended up with the same issue as it could be a potential upgrade bug, but time will tell and now if others have the same problem they know what I did to get the emails to stop and return to normal.
