Hi,
Is there a shortcut to getting procmail to do a hashed mail
directory? I wrote a little c program to spit out a nice
path depending on the user's name, and I stuck this into
/etc/procmailrc like this:
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail/`hashusername $LOGNAME`
DEFAULT=$LOGNAME
and this seems to work. It is a bit ugly.
The goal of this is to reduce the number of files in /var/spool/mail,
of course, but everytime procmail runs, it creates the ORGMAIL
file /var/spool/mail/username. This of course creates thousands
of empty files in the directory, which is exactly what I want to
avoid.
How can I get it to stop creating these files? Is there a better
way to get a hashed spool directory structure?
Thanks!
