Re: Queue id

Michael,

From http://www.postfix.org/faq.html:

"Postfix names a queue file after its inode number and after the
microsecond part of the time of day. Thus, if a queue file has a name
based on someone elses inode number there is a small chance that the
file name will collide with another queue file."

The documentation warns in several places about the re-usability of
queue IDs, e.g. in postsuper(1).
