Just assume that time() can have the granularity of the CPU instruction counter[1]. However, with a 16 bit PID and 65K processors you might run into collisions with the PID ... but I doubt anyone has a connection machine to run qpsmtpd on. I think time() + PID is sufficient "for now" ... unless threads share the PID ... ( otoh, qpsmtpd is not even threaded is it ? ). [1] In principal it could and in practice microseconds are probably sufficient. -- --gh
