Hi

I have been struggling with a problem where mail delivered to maildirs via maildrop are created with filenames in excess of 70 chars (octets). Even though most clients do not have a problem with this, some PDA's these days enforces the 70 chars UID length limit (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1939.html) and gives an error when popping mail.

I have tried in vain to find references to this on the web and mailing lists, and have come to the conclusion that it might be a bug. Could the maildrop developers or someone else with a fix please provide their comment on this?

For interest sake, I am using qmail-ldap, using the deliveryProgramPath variable (value = "maildrop maildrop_SPAM_filter") to deliver to the spam daemon. This used to be working on an older version of maildrop (1.3.8) but since we upgraded to 1.8.0 (and subsequently 2.0.0) we have had this problem. I have since eliminated the possibility that spamassassin could be the problem.

Delivering mail normally through qmail-local does not display this characteristic. See output for maildrop test below:
