Just moved from PPerl to SpeedyCGI and AFAICT it seems ok. One thing I have noticed is that SpeedyCGI keeps using the same PID numbers over and over again. If I'm not mistaken (Matt?) PPerl didn't do this. It makes it very difficult to examine just one smtp session. Previously is was easy to: $ grep ' <pid> ' /var/log/maillog | less Now I can't do that. I previously used collapse log (http://www.hjp.at/projekte/qpsmtpd/log-tools/) to collapse logs into single lines for each qpsmtpd session, but this script now does not work as it (of course) uses the pid. What makes it even harder to follow is that the pid shown by tcpserver is not the same as the one that qpsmtpd runs under, which was previously the case e.g. before I had: Aug 21 00:00:15 rhea qpsmtpd: 1093042815.809789 tcpserver: pid 781 from 129.33.230.139 Aug 21 00:00:21 rhea qpsmtpd: 1093042821.866842 tcpserver: ok 781 0:146.87.255.99:25 cmn1lsm5.beliefnet.com:129.33.230.139::3304 Aug 21 00:00:21 rhea qpsmtpd: 1093042821.883390 781 Connection from cmn1lsm5.beliefnet.com [129.33.230.139] Now it's hard to follow: Aug 23 00:00:01 rhea qpsmtpd: 1093215601.748068 tcpserver: pid 61409 from 211.183.254.77 Aug 23 00:00:01 rhea qpsmtpd: 1093215601.900685 tcpserver: ok 61409 0:146.87.255.99:25 :211.183.254.77::2449 Aug 23 00:00:01 rhea qpsmtpd: 1093215601.906301 59955 Connection from [211.183.254.77] [211.183.254.77] This is causing severe problems for diagnosis :( I guess there's no way around this?
