Periodic Emails are not coming

[Abid Saigol]

Hello,

Recently, the daily/weekly/monthly periodic emails have stopped coming 
from one of my servers.  There were no changes made of the system, 
except that part of the filesystem was exported as an NFS share.  These 
shares are setup on another FreeBSD machine for automount.  I have 
checked my /etc and /var/logs and cannot find any reason for the mails 
to have stopped.  Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated.  
Here are some of the relevant files:

The only anomalous entry is in the cron log at 3:02, but nothing in the 
maillog to reflect that.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
