Tie a mail with log files?
in [Postfix]

From: "=?utf-8?q?K=C4=81rlis_Repsons?=" on 8 Jan 2010 15:14 Just I wanted to know if there is currently a good way to tie messages with log files? I mean, to see that ID (like 8BA216E7D7) into some mail header or similar... Perhaps add it with maildrop -A?

This will show the various log lines associated with that message. Note the QUEUEID is not globally unique -- once a message has been removed from the queue the QUEUEID can be reused by another message. -- Noel Jones

No. the queue id is not in the delivered message. note that the queue id is not unique. > Perhaps add it with maildrop -A? if you go this road, then better generate a unique Id and put it in a header. you could do this at LDA level (maildrop or other), policy server or a content filter.
