Scott thank you very much for your time to read and answer my questions. I
appreciate it.
The enhanced number of digits will be very helpful as it is now in Declude.
The SMTPD(0000000000000000) is still very strange, but your thoughts about
it are a relief since I first believed that my installation was wrong. I
hope Ipswitch soon explains to their customers this particular case.

That is correct -- they are now doing the logging very similarly to the way
that Declude always has. In the past, it could be a bit of a hassle, as
you had to find the line(s) in the SMTP log file that you wanted, then go
up/down in the log file to find the previous/next line with the same
process identifier that had the spool file name. You could then use that
to find other references to the E-mail in that log file or other logs
files. Now, however, all log file lines have the spool file name, making
it a simple task to find all lines related to a single E-mail.

On thought is that they have to label it as (0000000000000000) because one
connection can be used with multiple E-mails, and therefore a single E-mail
may not have a "connect" line to go with it (if multiple E-mails as sent
with one connection). But, the same holds true with the HELO/EHLO lines --
so I would then guess that the logging of the connection attempt occurs
earlier in the code than where the spool file name is determined.
