i highly suspect that these are folks with bad cron entries... you'd think 
they'd be aware of the problem but obviously

  1) they are not OR
  2) they do not care OR
  3) they are trying to cause problems ie: (d)dos anyone?

I believe it's #1.  They don't know the problem exists.  I've written a few of them, and a couple of them have 
corrected the issue, we have one who acknowledged the problem and is going to fix it (don't know when), and some that 
haven't acknowledged at all.

And some, whose emails just bounced.
