Re: create nested maildirs as needed before creating a lock file?

Hello Harald Dunkel,

Where is the proble to create a directory where you put all the  promail
files and name them by the USER_NAME?

Then in the /etc/procmailrc you setup TRAP which change  the  permission
of the wrtten file to the USER_NAME.

I do this to ad have /etc/procmail_users/ and I use  INCLUDERC  to  read
the users procmailrc.  This works on my VServers with several 1000 users

WHY do you use LOCK with MAILDIRS?

It makes no sense

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
