My question is , what are the technical details of qrunner?

Then i maybe got the working of qrunner. Now i do not see any clue why
MTA/DNS is related to picking up a message from the qfiles dir.

My vision on qrunner :
Heyyy i have got a new file in the qfile dir. lets doing something with it.
When finished that mail.. lets check if there is another.. yeah i found
another one.. lets do something with it... lets see. hmmzz. nothing
left..EXIT. In meanwhile when nothing is there and qrunner did exit its
proc, crontab starts every minute qrunner. When nothing found.. exit. When
found files.. start the whole process again.
(So i see it)

So if anyone can me explain how it is working then i am happy.

For now i do not think it is an MTA/DNS problem, but qrunner is the problem.
It sits there in memory and is doing nothing at all. (besides checking
between 4 and 10 minutes the qfiles dir).

Why is every minute the qrunner logfile files with :

This costs me lots of hard drive space for useless information.
Is it a faillure?
