This is not a problem needing a solution, rather a situation which I would
like to understand. Even though I've looked at the two scripts (logwatch is
a perl script, pflogsumm a bash script) I don't see why they report
different results from the same /var/log/maillog, even though the run 1
second apart.

  This is from yesterday's logwatch:

and this from yesterday's pflogsumm:

  I've seen this discrepancy for years and have always wondered why. So I'm
asking if any of you system/network professionsls has some possible
explanations.

Just curious,

Rich
