Thanks Rik

This is exactly what I want, but my maillog doesn't contain any lines of
this type.

Does anyone know what file(s) control what goes into maillog? Maybe I can
compare mine with someone else's. For what it's worth, here's my
/etc/syslog.conf:

# /etc/syslog.conf
# Cobalt Networks, Inc. 2000

# Log all kernel messages
kern.*    /var/log/kernel

# Put everything in here
*.*;mail,kern,auth,authpriv.none  /var/log/messages

# Log inetd connections (restricted access)
authpriv.*    /var/log/secure

# Log all other auth messages here (restricted access)
auth.*    /var/log/auth

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.info,mail.*    /var/log/maillog

# Everybody gets emergency messages, plus log them on another
# machine.
*.emerg    *

# Save mail and news errors of level err and higher in a
# special file.
uucp,news.crit    /var/log/spooler

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*    /var/log/boot.log


Maybe I need to add qpopper in to this file somewhere?

Any clues gratefully received as always...
