Strange Mail Sending When Receiving Mail

[Henry McGilton (Boulevardier)]

I've noticed something in Mail App's behaviour recently that has me  
wondering.

Occasionally when I push the Get Mail button (I get mail manually), as  
it starts
to get mail, I notice the  Sent  mailbox will change to  Sending, as  
if there had been
pending drafts to go out, but there are none / were none . . .

I'm beginning to worry if there is something shady going on with my  
machine.
Are there any special daemons installed that send logging or status  
messages
via Mail ?

Are there any logs I can look at that might alert me to outgoing SMTP  
activity?

     Cheers,
         . . . . . . . .    Henry

It's not sending, it's checking the sent mail box to synchronize it to  
the sent mail on the server.

You can watch lsof or tcpdump.
