In an attempt to stem the tide of junk email messages I am receiving
daily, several hundred, I've done a search on the phrase mailstat
that I found a reference to in the procmail docs, and renamed both of
those that fell out of a locate mailstat command.

BUT, I cannot find any reference to useing them in either my
fetchmailrc or my procmailrc, so where in the chain are these
nausiating reports being called from.

Humm, and that didn't help, I just got another of them from what I
think is the last fetchmail run.

How the hell can I shut these things off? I don't care how many
emails procmail/spamd inspects just as long as it does it, which it
is.

Many thanks to those who can help.

I've a suggestion. Please post the entire contents, including headers,
of one of the "nausiating reports". This may at least give someone a
clue as to what you are seeing.

Bets he's complaining about logwatch and logrotate (/etc/cron.daily) ?

Mike-

Collect the 200 and goto boardwalk. Or Park Place.

What was happening was that when I rebuilt my filters in kmail, I
neglected to make a stopper filter to dispose of whatever fell thru the
main list so it wouldn't fall thru into sa-learn. So all the system stuff
was hitting sa-learn, which of course procedes to wipe out the message.

Duh!
