(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. [...] ----- End forwarded message ----- e.g. dovecot indeed seems to use the unqualified hostname instead of the FQDN for the last part of name. Personally I do not have a strong opinion on this, I would just like an answer (will change / should be changed - please report a bug / current behavior is fine, we will keep it). cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
