I assume that's what Dominique means: a setup as given by Paul Pomes's
re-mqueue, distributed with sendmail in the contrib/ area.

When flushing one of your queue's, passing the `-L' flag to sendmail
gives you a mean to track different queue's in your log.  E.g.:

 /usr/lib/sendmail -L sm-queue-2 -oQ/var/spool/mqueue2 -q

Once this is done, you can split your log in separate sendmail logs,
and feed these individualy to the Lire engine.

Dominique: does that solve your problem?

Bye,

Joost
