[Logcheck-devel] Logcheck sends emails every hour - how can I modify the frequency for sending emails?

Hi!
 
I receive an email every hour from logcheck with this content:
 
 
This email is sent by logcheck. If you no longer wish to receive
such mail, you can either uninstall the logcheck package or modify
its configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).

This means that logcheck is working on the one hand side.
But on the other hand side it is flooding my mailbox.
 
What is causing logcheck to send emails every hour?
Can I modify the frequency by when logcheck sends emails?

This is the only active cronjob related to logcheck:
root at vm110-fusiondir:~# cat /etc/cron.d/logcheck
# /etc/cron.d/logcheck: crontab entries for the logcheck package

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root

@reboot         logcheck    if [ -x /usr/sbin/logcheck ]; then nice -n10
/usr/sbin/logcheck -R; fi
6 * * * *       logcheck    if [ -x /usr/sbin/logcheck ]; then nice -n10
/usr/sbin/logcheck; fi

# EOF
