Your log line is dated 5 AM plus a little. Maybe your log file
got rotated (that usually happens at 4 or 5 AM). The reason
that your grep on all log files did not yield the result is
probably that the rotated log files are zipped. zgrep (at least
my version) behaves nicely when the files aren't zipped, so
zgrep 8A2993E3003B /var/log/maillog*
should yield the information Wietse was asking for. If not, an
ls -ld /var/log/maillog*
would be useful.
Is this a very heavily used system?
