Not much. The problem seems to happen less lately, though.

Utter silence. Not a whisper. Not even a simple message stating that they 
have received my mail.

I forgot all about that.... Let me see if I still have the problem, my log 
file goes back till 12 sept:

vgetty.cuaa1:09/13 00:23:40 aa1 error removing lock file (huh?!): No such 
file or directory
vgetty.cuaa1:09/13 02:02:04 aa1 error removing lock file (huh?!): No such 
file or directory

... and vgetty is:

-rwx------ 1 bin bin 198015 Sep 13 11:21 /usr/local/sbin/vgetty

I guess something fixed it. (Running mgetty 1.1.9-Aug17, vgetty 0.7.3 / 
10Aug97) Could also be something in FreeBSD as I regularly update the source 
tree and do a make world.

With kind regards,
