I use Maildir format for my incoming mail. In the past, I have used maildrop
as my MDA and now I have switched to procmail. I use Mutt as my MUA and have
converted (today) some email from mbox to maildir format. The naming
convention of each mail is different for procmail vs maildrop (and mutt
converted) email. The format is listed as follows,
-rw------- 1 subba users 3599 Mar 28 07:32 985764747.20966_23.myhost:2,S
-rw------- 1 subba users 28883 Mar 28 01:55 __XE,5RUw6.myhost:2,S
The qmail maildir man pages mention that the name consists of "time.pid.host"
as the file name. The trailing ":2,S" is appended by mutt.
Why is procmail naming convention different? How should the current name be
read? How is procmail generating these random names?
Finally, is there anyway to change the configuration or compile options of
procmail to conform with the Qmail's Maildir naming convention?
Thank you for any info.
