Autor: Matt Rubright Data: A: exim-users Assumpte: [exim] Queue time logging incorrect in 4.94?
Hi All,
While troubleshooting some user complaints about email queue times, I
discovered some cases where emails are logged as having longer queue times
than they actually do. Here's an example from yesterday (sender and
recipient email addresses redacted):
The QT log entry shows the total queue time to be 1m24s, but the timestamps
show 5 seconds start to finish. Am I misreading this somehow? The message
ID doesn't show up anywhere else in the log,
My log_selector configuration looks like this:
+queue_time_overall +smtp_incomplete_transaction
