Gordon,

as Bill said in todays message, his filter was running (therefore
present in ps output), yet wrong pipe permitions caused system to not
function. I believe, that there may be a number of reasons (from
programming errors to resource shortage) why filter do not answer
courier request. Therefore, if logs would provide accurate information
which filter is guilty, one would not need a crystall ball to find out
where to fix (if ps doesn't help).

Even more, this `crystall ball' is most needed when person sets filters
for the first time. Unfortunately, due lack of experience at that time,
magic device works least efficient.

Simple log line stating which pipe returned what error would tell admin
to look at his filter and not to blame courier.
