   Not with these, as far as I can tell. I have another issue with some
incoming messages (from three specific domains so far) that are logged in
/var/log/maillog as passed to procmail, but the procmail log does not have
them and they are not delivered to me. I went looking for this situation in
the mail logs this morning and didn't see anything relevant.

   I have nothing in /etc/cron.hourly. In /etc/cron.daily I have:

[root at salmo ~]# ls /etc/cron.daily/
0logwatch@     certwatch*     makewhatis.cron*  tmpwatch*
1pflogsumm*    slocate*       tripwire-check*   logrotate*
tetex.cron*

   As far as I can tell, everything but 1pflogsumm runs successfully each
day. The logwatch and mail log summary results are the only ones designated
to be mailed.
