Yes - when I 'grep' through 'maillog' by date, I match the number reported 
for "messages sent" in the corresponding 'logwatch' mailed to root.

I just assumed that "Messages sent" meant outgoing traffic, but that did 
not match anything I had knowingly sent. On the other hand I read about 
three mailing lists and they generate a fair amount of incoming traffic 
and a nearly corresponding amount of wear on the 'd' key.

I guess it's innocuous.

Thanks.
