Console error messages...

[Bill Anderson]

Nope, no luck searching on syntax. grep -i syntax /var/log/maillog

I have not seen the error yet, it only happened twice for that one hour
period.  I have scoured through the logs and there is no record of it, only
on the console.

I will watch it and see if it happens again.  Thanks for the patience.
