qmail-log - the qmail activity record

qmail-send prints a series of lines describing its activities. Each possible line is described below.

status: local l/L remote r/R ...
qmail-send is waiting for l local deliveries and r remote deliveries. The concurrency limits are L and R.
status: exiting
qmail-send is done.

alert: cannot start: ...
qmail-send is unable to prepare itself for delivering messages; it is giving up. This normally indicates a serious configuration error, but it can be caused by a temporary lack of resources.
alert: oh no! lost ...
One of the other daemons has died. qmail-send will exit as soon as possible.

alert: unable to append to bounce message...
qmail-send is unable to record a permanent failure, usually because the disk is full. This is a very serious problem; qmail-send cannot proceed without recording the results. It will try again in ten seconds.
alert: out of memory...
qmail-send tried to allocate more memory and failed. It will try again in ten seconds.
alert: unable to opendir...
qmail-send is having trouble reading a file list from disk, usually because the system's file descriptor table is full, but possibly because permissions are set incorrectly. It will try again in ten seconds.
alert: unable to switch back...
qmail-send was sent SIGHUP, and it is unable to reenter the queue directory. This is a very serious problem; qmail-send cannot proceed outside the queue directory. It will try again in ten seconds.
alert: unable to reread...
qmail-send was sent SIGHUP, but it is unable to read the new controls. It will continue operating with the original controls.

new msg m
qmail-send is going to preprocess a queued message. The message number, m, is its disk inode number. After a message is removed from the queue, its number can be reused immediately.
info msg m: bytes b from <s> qp q uid u
Message m contains b bytes; its envelope sender is s; it was queued by a user with user ID u. q is a long-term queue identifier, the process ID of the qmail-queue that queued the message.
bounce msg m qp q
Message m had some delivery failures. The long-term queue identifier of the bounce (or double-bounce) message is q.
triple bounce: discarding ...
Message m had some delivery failures, but it is already a double-bounce message, so it must be thrown away. Triple-bounce messages do not exist.
end msg m
qmail-send is about to remove message m from the queue.

starting delivery d: msg m to ...
qmail-send is telling qmail-lspawn or qmail-rspawn to deliver message m to one recipient. The delivery number, d, starts at 1 and increases by 1 for each new delivery.
delivery d: success: ...
Delivery d was successful.
delivery d: failure: ...
Delivery d failed permanently. The message will bounce.
delivery d: deferral: ...
Delivery d failed temporarily. This recipient will be retried later.
delivery d: report mangled, will defer
There is a serious bug in qmail-lspawn or qmail-rspawn. This recipient will be retried later.
