We are undergraduate students of the Statistics Department
and we are working in a small research project. We are trying to
fit a queueing model for the e-mail delivery service.
In our Institute they use Qmail to handle the e-mail service.
We are using the log files produced every day by Qmail
to obtain the information about the movement of messages.
We have some doubts about the log files that were not answered
by the local administrators and we hope that someone can help us.
1) When the delivery of a message is postponed for the next
day, the sucessive log files regarding these postponned messages
do not have the same information as before. For instance birth
time and size are not present anymore. Since the message is
delivered, this information is hidden somewhere. Is there some
way to get this missing information?
2) Qmail has 23 queues for the local deliveries and 23 queues for the
remote deliveries. We were informed that the message choose the queue
across the relation QP (mod 23). A message to a list
have the same QP but each destination is processed in a different queue.
How can we know the queue number used in each destination?
We appreciate any comments.
Thanks.
F�bio and Gustavo.
