  This must have been installed with Mudd's distribution for that's what I'm
seeing when it's mailed to me each day.

  I also inadvertently blew away today's message, so I'll need to wait for
tomorrow's version.

  What I need to understand is why so many messages appear as received, sent
and relayed. Even going back a couple of weeks, the received/sent numbers
appear very large, and I don't understand why there are any being relayed
(except for a few from the other workstation here).

  Reading the web page taught me why there are times for some of the daily
stats: they're the average and total times connected by the originating IP
or domain name.
