From the Exim Documentation:
"After the ?rst hyphen, the next six characters are the id of the

The process ID of the exim process that received the mail would have
to be
numbered at least (62^3 = ) 238328 for that 4th character alone to be
nonzero!
So this never happens anywhere, but just to be sure, there are some
additional zeroes?

Moritz,
Per that article, Linux assigns PID sequentially.
I'm not sure that is actually universally true, but never mind, 'coz
that isn't the only platform Exim runs on...
and .. some OTHER unix'n assign PID's ... randomly.
So, yeah - it could happen. Someday. Maybe. Somewhere.
And Exim would JF handle it.
Looks more like a solution than a problem to me...
Or are you gettin' air-miles for saving zeros?
Bill
