No email after syslog-ng death

Back to work after weeks holiday and only 4 emails? The culprit was syslog-ng which died the day after I left work (software efficiency) so email systems refused to work. Did

/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart

and email started to flow. Well, trickle is a better word: spamassassin is not exactly lightning fast.

Gmail seems more and more attractive. Web based email is useful, I never bothered with it before because my email provider's server is sluggish. Cannot say that about google.
