Hi all,

I was looking into isoqlog and noticed that it does not (for me) generate 
accurate stats. But that is not what interests me right now. This is:

Trying to analyze the log file (/var/log/qmail/send/current) to follow what's 
going on, I realized something that seems totally whacko to me:

a usual line announcing the processing of a new mail coming into the queue 
(regardless of whether it will be sent locally or remotely) looks like this:

@400000004c9f086f31f0149c new msg 6744317

As far as I know, the number after 'msg' is supposed to be used to identify 
that message so that you can follow up  on it in the logs. I might be wrong, 
though. And I hope I am, because this is an excerpt of my log file:

@400000004c9f086f31f01884 info msg 6744317: bytes 23947 from

The same msg id is used twice in a row.

Have I misunderstood how the send log works, or is this really as weird as I 
believe it to be?

Thanks,

Martin

I see several numbers being used repeatedly, but never more than one at a time. I expect this is normal. You might have a look at the qmail-send.c source to see what the value actually represents. Might be an inode number?
