Didier,

Interesting. I couldn't find that page. Age is not necessarily an issue;
pflogsumm is still at 1.1.5 from a very long time ago but it still works
with current postfix versions.

Okay. I probably installed it a couple of decades ago and it was moved from
system to system and probably from Red Hat7 to Slackware8 16 years ago.
That's why I asked whether it did anything useful.

Periodically I check /tmp and remove the dust bunnies that have accumulated
since the last cleaning. So now I'll remove it from /etc/cron.daily.

Thanks for your insights,

Rich
