Notification spam

[okanobi]

Hello, just recently started getting spammed with email notifications below multiple times an hour for last 24hrs. Not sure what it means…I've made some Snort and firewall changes recently so I'm wondering if that is the reason for the email spam, I'm not familiar with that paths function or what the cryptic message is trying to say. Hope someone here might shed some light on this.
