I'm a fool in linux. So i tried to set up some things on my root. Well and after time a suspicious cron job started to bomb me. i get about 1 email every 10 minutes saying:
Cron test -x /etc/init.d/sendmail && /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp
/usr/share/sendmail/sendmail: line 880: /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp: No such file or directory
Does someone know what this could be?
The email is adressed to "[email protected]"....

Cron Jobs are used to schedule tasks on the server to run. They're most typically used to automate system management or maintenance.
Cron and MAILTO If you run the script from cron, you can look into using cron's MAILTO= option. You put a [email protected] line in your crontab, and, when a job fails, cron will send a notification to the specified address using system's MTA.
Solution:
apt-get --purge remove sendmail-base sendmail-cf sendmail-doc
This just popped up for me too. I thought that I had removed sendmail when I installed Postfix but these cron jobs started popping up. Removing the sendmail file from /etc/cron.d worked until I restarted the machine, at which point it was regenerated. Removing the packages listed solved the problem once and for all. :-)

It seems like your sendmail package isn't completely installed. Try to find our which package contains sendmail-msp and install this package. You shouldn't receive mail anymore.
