Procmail and Maildir/

2000-08-12 10:25:18
Hello everyone!

I am currently trying out having my mails delivered to a Maildir/ instead 
of the usual mbox file format.

I am using RedHat 6.2, sendmail-8.10.2 and procmail-3.14/15pre and my 
/etc/procmailrc is as follows :-

MAILDIR=$HOME
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Maildir/

All is working well and new emails gets delivered to ~user/Maildir/new . 
However, one thing which I noticed is that irregardless of whether I am 
using procmail-3.14 or procmail-3.15pre, the name of the file that is 
created in the Maildir/new directory is of the form :-

_WAD.9WYl5.server.domain

instead of something like (which i thought should be the correct case 
as mentioned at http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/maildir.html) :-

966009135.2905.server.domain

And the _WAD.9WY15 part appears to be randomly generated and this created 
a problem whereby my mails gets out of order with later emails appearing 
in front of newer emails and such.

Aug 12 11:52 _AqB.LdLl5.server.domain:2,RS
Aug 13 01:13 _WAD.9WYl5.server.domain:3,
Aug 12 23:38 _b_F.r3Wl5.server.domain:2,S
Aug 12 16:18 _loE.CNQl5.server.domain:2,S

Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how I can "solve" this 
problem?

Thanks alot in advance!
