ok, done some more investigating..

I am definitely running something, because 'Starting nullmailer' is
printed to the console and I fiddled in /etc/rc.subr and got it to print
the command it was about to execute just before it did so - below is the
/etc/rc.d/nullmailer file and it looks ok, but I had another thought about
the command_args - nullmailer-send does not have any kind of logging
function so its piped through logger - I can't find this done by any other
programs, would this be the right way to go about it?

I wonder if something is getting lost, in particular the & or | characters
on their way through variables (this sort of thing always gets me)..
though I can't see what the difference is between
