Those are actually generated by a recurring scheduled service
"checkInventoryAvailability".

It checks your backorders and stock levels (including incoming
shipments I believe) and sends out notices to be in compliance with the
FTC 30 day rule (
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/mailorder.htm )

If you wanted to turn these off, you can just cancel that service.
