Some operating systems quickly recycle PIDs, which can lead to collisions between Maildir-style filenames, which must be unique and non-repeatable within one second. This patch is just a means of updating qmail-local to use the format of the revised Maildir protocol, available at: http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html It uses four unique identifiers: * inode number of the file written to Maildir/tmp * device number of the file written to Maildir/tmp * time in microseconds * the PID of the writing process A Maildir-style filename would look like the following: In Maildir/tmp: time.MmicrosecondsPpid.host In Maildir/new: time.IinodeVdeviceMmicrosecondsPpid.host Additionally, this patch further comforms to the revised Maildir protocol by looking through the hostname for instances of '/' and ':', replacing them with "057" and "072", respectively, when writing it to disk. Special thanks go to Matthias Andree for design and sanity-checking. --Toby Betts --- ./qmail-local.c.orig Mon Jun 15 06:52:55 1998 +++ ./qmail-local.c Mon Jun 16 16:09:05 2003 @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ #include +#include #include #include "readwrite.h" #include "sig.h" @@ -41,6 +42,20 @@ void temp_qmail(fn) char *fn; { strerr_die5x(111,"Unable to open ",fn,": ",error_str(errno),".
