Gonna try that later if switching to a filter that writes _real_ Maildir didn't help.
At home I run procmail from sendmail (as the local mailer) and it generates files like:
1085555933.58805_0.hostname
which seems to be a timestamp, the PID of procmail with an addition and a hostname.
My procmail version is built from ports on freebsd 5.1 and is: "procmail v3.22 2001/09/10".
Ah, interesting. I'm running the "same" version but from debian:
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10 procmail_3.22-9_i386.deb
Your message (the one I am replying to) was stored as: msg.qBs4
Seems the BSD port has some patch applied that the debian version hasn't. I'm gonna file a bug report to the package maintainer.
Problem solved. It was my fault... The pkg-maintainer Santiago instantly replied to my bug report and enlightened me about my broken procmailrc. I was missing the slashes after the Maildir paths so procmail didn't treat them as Maildirs but as.. well, dirs that don't require unique names.
I've corrected my mistake and gonna give that test22 another shot. Sorry for causing confusion!
