Sendmail as MTA, procmail as delivery agent delivering to
maildirs,
and the POP server from qmail.

oic... how about IMAP? Do you use IMAP over there?

If you really need the message filenames in the maildir to be on
the
time.pid.host format, I have a maildir shell utility you could
try.
Procmail can use it to deliver all your mail like this:


   :0 W
   | maildir deliver $HOME/Maildir

   EXITCODE=$?
   HOST

Thanks for the file. I tried it out and noticed that the above does not 
create the $HOME/Maildir if it does not exist and hence "maildir deliver" 
will fail because it tries to chdir to $HOME/Maildir directly.

Do you have any idea how the above can be changed to make it create the 
$HOME/Maildir first?

It seems that by default, procmail will auto-create the Maildir if it is 
delivered itself, but if I use other programs, it won't.

Thanks!
