Are you sure that this later version isn't a rename by the software which reads the email? (POP3 server, whatever) Exim documents the filename construction in The Exim Specification, "26.5 Maildir delivery" (and 26.6 for maildir_tag). The "V..._0" part there is anomalous. Rephrasing, it should be: <time.seconds>.M<time.microseconds>P<pid>.<primary_hostname><tag> where <tag> typically starts with a comma ','. > This server is only writing these filenames: > 1215326800.H536521P26074.:2,S That suggests that primary_hostname is unset, which is weird, since it should be derived from uname if not explicitly set. Do you have anything in your config explicitly setting 'primary_hostname = ""' ? What does: shell$ exim -bP primary_hostname show? -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
