That number BF683A28247 is a unique number?

The postfix queueid identifies a single message while it's in the queue. The queueid is created from the queue file inode number and microsecond CPU time.

The queueid is unique while that message exists; only one message at a time may have a specific queueid.

Once the message exits the queue, that queueid can be reused at any time.

I've seen a queueid reused within 30 minutes. Don't count on it being unique for any period of time.
