Today I was testing an option for long Postfix queue IDs (queue
file names) that won't be reused for about 30+ years. The idea is
to prepend the 30 least significant bits of the time in seconds to
the queue ID.
For the long queue IDs I chose an encoding that packs more bits in
a queue ID
The idea is to prepend the 30 least significant bits of the time
in seconds to the queue ID.
Btw, 6 more hours to the next 'pretty' decimal unix timestamp: 13

The problem is that the larger alphabet and longer queue IDs increase
the possibility that existing words will appear inside queue IDs

and that a queue ID can be 12 characters
