I can provide the output of that command, but all I'm seeing is failed ssh 
logon attempts from a user "monitor" (which I believe has nothing to do with 
monit) and postfix logs from this mailing list email. 

Here's the body of the emails I receive:

Monit stop (servername) at Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:22:20 -0600 on (servername): 
Monit stopped.

Really?  Did you try:

# egrep -R 'monit' /var/log/* | less

or something similar?

Can you provide a short sample of the mail you're getting?

You said you also experienced this on another version, right?

That the devs can answer; the reason I asked about maillogs is for one thing it 
sounds like there may 
be a stuck mail queue if you're getting very dated messages.
