[lug] Sendmail Question

[Chris Brotherton]

I have a question about sendmail.  I have it setup on a gentoo machine and
everything appears to be running normally.  However, when I restart the daemom
I notice an interesting log message:

Jan 26 11:00:32 alphacentauri sendmail[3534]: alias database

Jan 26 11:00:32 alphacentauri sendmail[3534]: /etc/mail/aliases: 25 aliases,
longest 19 bytes, 282 bytes total

Jan 26 11:00:46 alphacentauri sendmail[3574]: j0QI0hYY003574: from=chris,
size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, relay=root at localhost


The first four entries seem normal.  Can anyone tell me if the last entry is
normal?  It looks like a message from a local user is being sent to root, but
it has a size of 0.

Chris.
