Hey all,

Since the colon is used in Maildir file names and is illegal in
Samba/Windows, is there any way to substitute that character for
another?  I use Samba to do a nightly backup and cannot use NFS.

Thanks.
    

Brad,

 It's been awhile since I've configured Samba, but I seem to remember
you being able to map incompatible filename characters within the samba
configuration file.  you should check the documentation for details.
