Was there anything else updated/upgraded around that time.  I remember 
some of that original thread but there didn't seem to be.  Being kind of 
pragmatic I'd drop the problem script and either write my own or use the 
cronjob examples in the script possibly with those extra OPTIONS in 
1pflogsumm.

One thing I've had done is run the report just after midnight for the 
previous day using the '-d yesterday' switch.  Let's me know what 
happened the day before and watch for trends.  But there are scripts 
that run on each of the mail servers that monitor the queues and send an 
alert via a SMS gateway when they exceed some set level.

Good luck with find what is causing the problem.  There are days I 
_really_ hate computers!
