I installed logwatch to be a little more aware of what's going on and noticed that
sudowas being used regularly throughout the day by root to become www-data and run nextcloud maintenance scripts.The file
/etc/cron.d/mailinabox-nextcloudcreated by setup/nextcloud.sh was created such that it runs as root but then sudo's to www-data to run the nextcloud maintenance commands.My change just puts
www-datain the cron user field and eliminates the need for sudo. Tested on my install.
