Wild Guess:
You are using cron and have the settings in your crontab incorrect.
For example:
* * * * * 0 /full/path/to/your/spam/script
This would attempt to execute the script on Sundays. EVERY MINUTE, during
Sunday, however.
Disclaimer: I probably got the *'s and 0 mixed up a bit. I'm not a crontab
expert.
