msgs test switching between white and green 🔗 link

Hi,

I ve got a surprising thing happening with the msgs test on a server on which I want to monitor mail logs for deferred and several kind of related errors :

Wed Jul 12 13:33:21 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green
Wed Jul 12 13:32:50 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     green  From -> To     clear
Wed Jul 12 13:28:20 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green
Wed Jul 12 13:27:49 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     green  From -> To     clear
Wed Jul 12 13:23:19 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green

Wed Jul 12 13:17:48 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     green  From -> To     clear
Wed Jul 12 13:13:17 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green

Wed Jul 12 10:42:44 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green

Wed Jul 12 10:37:43 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green
Wed Jul 12 10:37:25 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     green  From -> To     clear
Wed Jul 12 10:32:42 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green
Wed Jul 12 10:32:24 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     green  From -> To     clear
Wed Jul 12 10:27:40 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     clear  From -> To     green
Wed Jul 12 10:27:24 2006     inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr     msgs     green  From -> To     clear

In client-local.cfg, I have :
[inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr]
log:/var/log/maillog:20480
ignore spamd
trigger deferred

In hobbit-clients.cfg, the part referring to the mail log is :
HOST=inf-mail2.ias.u-psud.fr
        LOG /var/log/maillog %.*deferred COLOR=red

Is something wrong with my setup ? How come the msgs column keeps switching ?

Regards,
Stephane

Pairwise, these changes happen exactly every 5 minutes. Which leads me to suspect that you have both the Hobbit client *and* a BB client or
some other tool generating status-report for the "msgs" column. The Hobbit client generates the green->clear changes, and the other tool
generates the clear->green changes.
