Breaking it down with the more interesting parts: from= <-- This was a message coming from jone001@hotmail.com size=0 <-- The size of the message. 0 means no message, basically, probably because the message was rejected. nrcpts=0 <-- The number of recipients. 0 means no recipients, probably because it was sent to an unknown user, or the sender address was rejected by some anti-spam rules. relay=[208.254.57.2] <-- The message is coming from this IP address It's probably nothing you need to worry about, unless you're seeing some problem in your mail delivery that appears to relate to this log message.
