Main Entry: red herring
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 : a herring cured by salting and slow smoking to a dark brown color
2 [from the practice of drawing a red herring across a trail to confuse hunting
dogs] : something that distracts attention from the real issue 

Meaning 2 applies here. The point I was making was that the syslog smtpd entry
may have been unrelated to the problem.
