Hi, I am using RH6.2 with Sendmail 8.9.xx.

My question is this:

When I try to compare the number of e-mails "from" users (internal or
external) with the number of e-mails "to" users (internal or external),
using the command line

cat /var/log/maillog | grep ": from=" | wc -l
and
cat /var/log/maillog | grep ": to=" | wc -l

The results I get are rather strange, the first command (from) gives me a
number of 11485, while the second command (to) gives 8834.

Surely the values should be equal? I though that it might be related to
transmission failures, e.g.. User unknown etc, and did a grep -ve
"stat=Sent", and was given a figure of 36.

Does anyone know why there is a huge difference?

Regards
Enrico
