Thank you for your feedback. Procmail has included support for hashed spool directories since 3.13, so I don't think the feature is that site specific. (see procmail/src/authenticate.c "#define MAILSPOOLHASH 0") > For what it's worth, I suggest the following alternative implementation of > your patch, which avoids needless rescans of the string: > > int i; > char *u,*s; > strcpy (tmp,MAILSPOOL); > for (i = 0, u = myusername (), s = tmp + strlen (tmp); > (*s++ = '/') && (i < spool_hash_depth) && u[i]; > *s++ = u[i++]); > strcpy (s,u); See my new patch against imap-2004rc6. Further comments are welcome. Cheers.
