 * Hi guys, great plugin, thanks.
 * We’ve noticed that we get a lot of ‘file change warning’ emails across numerous
   websites running your plugin. We know how to turn these emails on/off, and would
   like them on to flag up any rogue file changes.
 * The problem is the emails have dates that aren’t current – mainly with fie change
   dates from last year, and in fact I had one overnight dating back to July 2019.
 * I thought it might be our host at first, resetting permissions on files or something
   and triggering the emails, but we’ve recently migrated client sites to a new 
   host, so it’s unlikely it’s something both hosts have been doing. In fact, thinking
   about it, I get the emails from client sites where I’m still the admin email,
   and they host their own, so that’s numerous servers and numerous sites.
 * Is this a known bug?
