Which MTA - I'm seeing this occasionally with qmail - I don't think the openprotect filename algorithm is correct - it does not follow the DJB way - but I can't prove it yet :-)
Hmm, there is nothing wrong in the file name algo of qmail.pm of MailScanner, the reason DJBs way cant be followed is simple, DJB names the queue files as their inode number (pretty kewl), but MailScanner unlinks the queue files from one directory and links it to another directory, so I have two options for naming the moved queue file - find out an empty inode and move the orig queue file to that new location and name the thing or generate a random name, since I am too lazy (cmon ppl we are talking perl code here ;) ) to do the former doesnt mean the algo is wrong. I have checked the qmail-send code and it doesnt care whether the queue file name corresponds to the inode number. so much for the rant!!!
and well coming to mails which are sent twice, MailScanner's design makes sure you dont lose a single mail what may come, but then there is a possibility for a mail sent twice, but 80,000 times is lil too much :).
cheers, G.
