Since UseBB doesn't come pre-installed with a private messaging system, I am going to assume you are using a modification? If it happens at random, it is most likely your hosts SMTP server not working at random. Either disable the email notification or contact your host.

How, exactly, does one go about disabling email notification? Is there an ACP setting that I'm missing?

UseBB assumes that PHP's mail() function actually works... if it doesn't this is considered a misconfiguration on the hosts's behalf.

You can't disable the mail functionality in v1. If you are urged to, disable email confirmation and alter the code as described before: http://www.usebb.net/community/topic-983.html. Note topic subscription messages will of course stop working as well.

You can disable email notifications for Private Messages only via your Profile -> Edit Options -> E-mail notification for new PM?.
