BFT,
Ok, now that I'm a bit more awake I have some more troubleshooting ideas. First determine if they are fake emails or if they are legitimately coming from your host/database.
If they are fake, then block them and move on.
If they are legitimate, then you need to find why they are being generated. It could be a database problem, a server problem, a network problem, a script problem, or a hack attempt.
Fake or Not:
Where are the links in the email actually pointing to? If you right click on one of the embedded links and select "copy link location", then paste that into a notepad text document, do the two links match? Are the links in the email actually pointing to your server?
Who are the emails really from? Sometimes looking at the details of an email will reveal that the sending address is being spoofed.
Does this forum actually use the version of MySQL that the emails state?
Try to verify if these error messages make sense for the structure and content of your database. Things such as usernames, table names and field values should match ones that you are using in your database.
