If someone can point me at an explanation of log entries it would be much
appreciated.

1)
This is a low traffic server.
Whenever a new entry arrives for processing, I see what looks like tables
getting reloaded, e.g.

dict_cidr_open: add a.b.c.0/17 OK
dict_cidr_open: add d.e.f.0/24 OK
dict_open: cidr:/etc/postfix/ok_client

Is that because the subprocesses have exited due to idle timeouts and are
restarting?

2)
I see what looks like two separate processes stepping on each other during
the opening client connection.  Is this normal?  Is there some setting I
can change to alleviate this?  All of this traffic is within one second.

reject_unknown_address: [email protected]
rewrite_clnt: cached: local: [email protected] -> [email protected]
send attr request = rewrite
send attr rule = local
send attr address = [email protected]

Is the reject_unknown_address an actual rejection, or just something being
probed?
What does this mean: cached: local: [email protected] -> [email protected] ?

4)
rewrite_clnt:
  local: [email protected] -> [email protected]
send attr request = resolve
send attr sender = [email protected]
send attr address = [email protected]

In this case the "sender" above is actually the "to" part of the message,
which doesn't seem like a "sender"; and the "address" is the "from" part,
which seems like it should be a "receiver".  What's the meaning of the
above sequence?

5)
ctable_locate:
  install entry key [email protected][email protected]

Is this a map insertion with a key of [email protected] for a value of
[email protected]?  What's ctable?
