When I debug something in that system I described for you, I have another
option besides the transaction number. I can turn on the debug function
which enables logging of each step and includes markers so you can see
which process was running what. It's a function of webspeed, the markers
make it possible to follow a process thru from start to finish.

In NTmail, the log files carry a thread ID number, so even if I have
multiple SMTP transactions with a single connection I can still track it
thru multi threaded log files. (256 smtp threads can make one heck of a log
file) But that's all done on one machine.
