Most of the meaning is in the message itself. Breaking it down with the
more interesting parts:
from=<jone001@hotmail.com> <-- 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.
