Can you provice a sample of a log entry you would have expected?

"Completed" does not imply success or failure. It's just *completed* in
one or another way. The spool files should be removed and the message

Are the peaks of deliveries/time are correlated to the "defect" log
files? (use eximstat for getting a histogram about processed messages)
