This message comes from the IDS library (Intrusion Detection). If you haven't already done this, the first thing I'd try is to delete the cached version of the settings file for IDS: <drupal-root>/sites/default/files/civicrm/ConfigAndLog/Config.IDS.ini (it will get rebuilt). If that's not working then you can either:

*  disable IDS by uncommenting or adding this line to your civicrm.settings.php file: define( 'CIVICRM_IDS_ENABLE', 1);
(NOTE that this may open your site to scripting attacks)

* add the field that's kicking the warning to the exceptions array in CRM/Core/IDS.php createConfigFile()

Try doing a view source on 'edit message template', and check the name / id of the form field that you've put the table in.

Ditch that, the field which contains the HTML for a message template is 'msg_html' and it's already in the exceptions list. Maybe back up a bit and explain the process that's generating the error. Registration confirmations are generally sent when a user registers or is registered. But you referenced a cron job. What cron job are you running?

Beyond that I would confirm that things run ok w/o the added HTML snippet and then start  adding stuff back in, and check that the HTML is properly formed (i.e. no extra quotes, end tags where they should be etc.).


Also try disabling IDS checking temporarily to confirm that as a workaround and confirm what's happening. AND you can try increasing the warn and kick levels (near top of IDS.php file). This isn't a great permanent solution because I'm not sure you can have a custom copy of this php file - and if not you'd have to change it again for each upgrade.
