Thanks Uli!  Answers:

cat: /etc/inet.conf: No such file or directory

The only mail client that runs is mozilla-thunderbird, which runs every 
10 mins to fetch mail.  Of course exim runs its default cron job every 
15 mins configured for local mail.

On a probably unrelated note, I've logged 40 failed login attempts via 
ssh as root, guest, user and admin in the past few days, but none during 
the time period in question.  (Of course remote root logins are disabled.)
