Oh dear :)
I have one suggestion, if you are delivering via sendmail+procmail or similar
you might find you have a stack of log messages in maillog

# tail -1 /var/log/maillog
Dec 23 17:17:54 localhost sendmail[13311]: fBNHHqX13309:
to=<cut at somewhere>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp,
pri=30598, relay=mailhost.mite.net. [194.106.32.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Though this depends on how your system is configured, on a system like mine
it will catch incoming and outgoing email.

Oh as I'm going email dead for a week, a merry Christmas to the Gluggers!
(and don't gllug too much of the christmas spirits ;)
