Package: exim4 Version: 4.69-2 Severity: wishlist In ~/Maildir/cur/ I have: - 1210666181.H610983P31901.203.161.103.17.static.amnet.net.au ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Microseconds should start with M. (Some one needs another X font or glasses? Phil, like the old 4.3 code and child.c in particular as this alone could justify keeping vfork() in Linux.) The POSIX functions gettimeofday() and getpid() should suffice. The bit after the second '.' should be from the POSIX gethostname() as this is short, but unique in an NFS LAN context. (Replace / with \057 and : with \072. Also be mindful to replace ' ' with \040 to address bug #446161.) The file name and UIDL are longer than they need to be to be unique. I think that this is a waste of resources. (If you agree then report upstream as I their bugzilla has not answered me.) See Linux man page open(2) and O_EXCL NFSv2 and Linux <2.6. Maildir as far as MTA delivery is concerned is described in: - http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html Unless you are doing something odd with TURN or ETRN plain old Maildir should suffice. Functions gettimeofday(), getpid() and gethostname() are POSIX or SUSv3 so this should be independent of target. (We really don't need to care about non-conforming targets do we?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
