I don't really know enough to give a solid answer. But since you've had no responses, I will ask why you think the mails on the desktop are FALSE positives and why you think they should be occurring on the laptop as well. In other words, rkhunter on the desktop is saying something has changed in the two files it is questioning. Just because you copied the .conf file to the laptop does not mean the two files on the laptop should be called into question. Are those files present on the laptop and identical in every way to the desktop?
