One of the other daemons has died. qmail-send will exit as soon as
possible.

qmail-send tried to allocate more memory and failed. It will try
again in ten seconds.

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.
double bounce: discarding ...
Message m was discarded due to an 'empty' recipient in
doublebounceto.
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.
