    Hi,

    I run a server on FC4 with postfix. Each day I receive an logwatch email with a section for Postfix. I'm trying to understand this section as I'm worried that I'm sending spam emails from my box.

    Could someone explain to me what the "38 messages removed from queue" means, as sometimes its less than the "messages sent".

    Heres an example of my logwatch email

    Many thanks in advance

    Dan
