problem: sendmail's mailstats complains "mailstats: file size changed" when
run.

solution:
if you have tried copying /dev/null onto /var/log/sendmail.st, and restarted
sendmail, and it STILL doesn't work, your version of mailstats is likely out
of synch with your actual sendmail binary.  rebuild mailstats from sendmail
distribution and install.

potential impact of problem: somewhere around nil, unless you run a busy
mail hub and need stats.

took me a good week to figure that one out. even jkh had never heard of it.

Thanks for the faq. it's bailed muh butt out many times.
