Are there any other mentions of the first one of these? The second one 
is a different message (note the different random tag number on the end).

The first message or the second one? It does seem slightly odd that the 
same inode number turned up twice in such quick succession. Are you sure 
these two messages are actually different messages, or are they the same 
one, and the first processing of it was abandoned for some reason?

It just occurred to me that the processing database won't work well with 
Postfix at all.
Postfix re-uses the message id numbers too fast for them to be 
considered good ids, which is why I have to add a random number to the end.
But I add a new random number to the end every time I pick up the 
message, so every time it sees the same message it will create different 
message ids for it.
So the processing database idea breaks down :-(
Poo :-(

Any thoughts?
