Hey all,

Running Postfix on a FC6 system. I've set up cron to
run a script each night to scan the logs in a way I
like (as a supplemental to Logwatch).                 
   It dumps the results to a text file, which it is
supposed to then send to my gmail account.

Lately, when I use MUTT to check root's email account
on the system, I see a lot of messages like the
following:

Why are these messages bouncing back? The funny thing
is that some of them do get through properly, but
about half are returned in the fashion above.

Is it a configuration issue with Postfix perhaps?
Network latency? An issue of some kind on gmail's end?


Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Matt
