The first appearance:
----------------------------------
+++ 194RTT-0001cm-01 not completed +++
2003-04-12 22:19:44 194RTT-0001cm-01 <= postmaster@???
H=ing.sun.ac.za [146.232.144.10] P=esmtp S=5820

<postmaster@???> for Kirsten_oua@???
2003-04-12 22:19:44 194RTT-0001cm-01 no immediate delivery: more than
15 messages received in one connection
--------------------------
For the next ten days there was nothing in the logs.

After "exim -v -M " a message on the queue for 10 days recorded the
following in the log:

2003-04-22 16:01:06 194RTT-0001cm-01 => kirsten_oua@???
