Re: Procmail and Maildir/

  Thanks for your info. But in this case,  my emaile will no longer be 
  sorted by the date/time that the emailed is delivered to my server cos 
  they will all have _ and a chunk fo random numbers/alphabets. Is there 
  anyway to change the behaviour?

  Do you encounter such a problem with new emails displayed in between old 
  emails and stuff like that?

The maildir man page says that the time of delivery is the
mtime (time of last modification) of the file. It also says that
Reader software should not parse filenames.

So, reader software that sorts messages based on the filename must
clearly be doing something wrong. What software are you using?

If you absolutely need the time.pid.host format, and also procmail,
I think the most practical way is to use some suitable external
maildir-delivering program that is called from procmail via /etc/procmailrc.

Regards,
Gjermund Sorseth
