    Is this a normal update, or someone is really trying to hack my website or send unsolicited e-mail?

    Hello,

    class_mail.php is a vBulletin's file.

    The mail() function in vbseo_sitemap_function.php file is legit and is used to send reports when sitemap is created.

    cPanel sends out these messages... it can be disabled. Nothing to worry about.
