While tracing a message today, I noticed something weird. A strange
distribution of message numbers. running this command:
grep 'end msg' /var/log/qmail/send/current | awk '{print $4}' | sort |
uniq -c | sort -n
I got this result, which indicates that I'm not getting an even
distribution of msg numbers. I know this isn't a case of some messages
getting stuck in the queue and having repeated delivery attempts, because I
checked for that. Anyone else notice this before?
