This is temporary mail queue file created by statement in
/etc/periodic/daily/450.status-security:
sh /etc/security 2>&1 | sendmail root
If you wanna avoid this message you'll change this statement to smth like
sh /etc/security 2>&1 > secure_temp_file.$$
sendmail root < secure_temp_file.$$
rm -f secure_temp_file.$$
Anyway first statement is noisy but secure, second silent but very insecure.
