Channel stopped by administrative task. Channel Name: CC_XI_NAME_SENDER

Hi,

I have a SOAP Sender Channel which I stopped in Channel Monitoring about 6 months ago as it is no longer required.

Suddenly, since yesterday error messages are being generated for this Channel. The message is '

Channel stopped by administrative task. Channel Name: CC_XI_NAME_SENDER.

Does anyone know why I am getting error messages for a Sender Channel which has been stopped? The Receiver Channel has also been stopped. The scenario is no longer required so i don't want to switch the service on, I want it off but without generating error messages!
