This is an annoying thing that ifcico does. If any of the config files get
updated after the nodelist is compiled, it starts complaining. It's usually
no big deal - especially for testing. Once you are officially running you
will want to keep it updated to deal with the changed phone numbers.

Find ifindex and put it in your nodelist directory. Mine is
'/var/spool/ifmail/nl.d' Once you have it there, just do a cd to there and
type 'ifindex'.

In /etc/ifmail you should have a config file. Look in there. It tells you
that it will hold all of the FLO files that end in ',HLO'. If you change
that HOLD to NOHOLD, then it will send them all on, even if there are on
HOLD.

FWIW, your log snippet above looks reasonably normal.
