I had not considered that. I have had problems before, with fetchmail
and MailSite coming up with different byte counts. In this case, what
I saw was a lot of traffic showing on gkrellm, but no email, and then
the error messages from eximon. Maybe I need to look

This is an example of an entry from the mainlog before the problem
started (lines are cut so there's no overflow):

Here is a post-"change" example:

2002-07-18 18:02:54 17VMAY-0001iL-00 <=
bounce-debian-user=camellison=dccnet.com@??? H=localhost

2002-07-18 18:02:55 17VMAY-0001iL-00 Completed

It looks as though the message is not getting as far as the
directors. "smarthost" is set in exim.conf as mailhost.dccnet.com.

Here's my exim.conf (or the bits that are set [and a couple that are
not, but seem important]):
