Apparently, cfexecd does not understand 'EmailMaxLines = ( inf )' as documented
in the CFEngine reference as it's set to 'max:20' below.
cfpopen(/var/cfengine/bin/cfagent -Q
smtpserver,sysadm,fqhost,ipaddress,EmailMaxLines,EmailFrom,EmailTo -D
from_cfexecd)
<snip>
EmailMaxLines/inf
<snip>
Got(to:[EMAIL
PROTECTED],serv:mailmass.natinst.com,host:choctaw.natinst.com,ip:130.164.11.190,max:20,from:)
The documentation also states that if 'EmailMaxLines' is undefined, it defaults
to '100' which is also incorrect.

Ok, now for the embarrassing part. I'm including it here for the future
generations of CFEngine users so that the same mistake isn't made again.
Do _not_, under any circumstances use:
processes:
"cfexecd"
matches=1
signal=term
restart "/var/cfengine/bin/cfexecd"
instead, as documented in the CFEngine tutorial, use:
processes:
"cfexecd$" <-- Very important to specify a '$'
restart "/var/cfengine/bin/cfexecd"
Apparently what was going on was that I was inadvertently killing my cfexecd's
before the 'outputs' directory could be updated and subsequently emailed.
This may also explain the problems I was seeing with RH and multiple 'cfexecd's
hanging around. As Mark says, CFEngine won't do anything unless you tell it
to. ;)
Since making the above 'processes' changes, I don't think I've been so happy to
see so many CFEngine emails show up.
Thanks everybody for your feedback, patience, and suggestions,
