Not meaning to complicate things, but Notmuch does not receive messages at all. ;-) One needs to rely on some software to populate the Maildir tree (Dovecot LMTP in my case, Postfix or some other MTA for local delivery in other cases). Any software transporting the raw messages can, and sometimes must, manipulate the header data, and the order in which files within the Maildir tree are created is also not determined by Notmuch. As an example: My nightly backup script disables local delivery for the duration of the backup process. Once reactivated, delivery of queued messages resumes, but it is not guaranteed to happen in the order of arrival. So even the local MTA, although trusted, might induce issues in terms of delivery time. -Ralph _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
