I'm sure someone will answer the question directly, but personally, I find
great benefit in having a separate log file per message, because when I
want to see why a message is not handled the way I want, I can easily find
its log entries. And a side-benefit is that this also solves the
inter-writing problem and helps with the logfile size control problems,
though I wasn't thinking about those when I split the file.
I could do this, but I want to keep the log all in one for a very simple
reason: I have an application which pops up whenever something is added to
the log (ie a new message is filed). After 30 seconds, it goes away again.
Very handy.
Too handy to lose.
I'm slightly confused. :)
Does your app just let you know when a change is made so you know you've
got new e-mail? Or does it tell you what changes occurred?
If it just tells you new mail came in, run a secondary and continues log,
that just records something like "New mail arrived $date".
