Non-local...CONT #2'

Sorry to be the pain in the neck, but I've found one other piece of 
interesting INFO:

{ExoCom:2 [~/.procmail]} egrep 'comsat' log
procmail: Notified comsat: "bodysurf(_at_)102620:/var/spool/mail/bodysurf"
procmail: Notified comsat: "bodysurf(_at_)1963:/var/spool/mail/bodysurf"
procmail: Notified comsat: "bodysurf(_at_)2773:/var/spool/mail/bodysurf"
procmail: Notified comsat: "bodysurf(_at_)102084:/var/spool/mail/bodysurf"

Looking at the PROCMAIL MAN page, it tells me:

    Notified comsat: "$LOGNAME(_at_)offset:file"
                           Sent comsat/biff a notice  that  mail
                           arrived for user $LOGNAME at `offset'
                           in `file'.

On the lost emails, the offset was "1963" and "2773" in the above 
examples.  I don't think this is where the offset should be as my 
"/var/spool/mail/bodysurf" mailbox file is ~102K.  On the emails that 
arrived OK in my inbox, the offset in the above LOG file was ~102K 
(102620 and 102084 to be exact).

Once again, the emails that arrive OK are those I send locally.  The 
emails that I never see arrive are the ones that come in from the outside.

Lates!
