"Daily AIDE report for $HOSTNAME" is the subject of the e-mails sent
out by the daily cron job of Debian's aide package. That cron job is
not part of mainstream aide, but a Debian addition.

If you have any reasonably recent version of Debian, see if
/etc/default/aide helps.

If not, a recursive grep for "Daily AIDE" might at least show the
executeable responsible for the messages, and from that, it shouldn't
be too hard for a professional admin to find out which configuration
file is used by that executeable.
