Fine, so on Alpha, you have a qpsmtpd installation that is using
async and doing more than 1000 mails/second? And given that it has
rand(10000) in there, you also need a rand() collision in that
millisecond. You're reaching for a problem.
On "normal" platforms the minimum granularity is on the order of 1
billion mails/sec. Let me know when you're building the single CPU
system that can do that, I'd like to buy one.
Note that mod_unique_id is only designed for 64k hits/sec.
Matt.
