Alexey writes that the logs generated by QT are different than "normal" qmail 
because of all the different patches. I wonder if "normal" qmail *does* have a 
means of correlating the messages that is somehow broken in QT? And if so does 
this mean qmail-track will not work with QT (just as qmailanalog does not work)?

That would be great. But still, qmail-track seems to be able to do it without 
any log-enhancing patches. How?

With a sort thrown in:
cat * | grep [EMAIL PROTECTED] | sort | tai64nlocal
