Not correct either. I had reason to investigate this now, conlusions:


# Deliver to dir/msg.XXXX, XXXX = random lower/upper case letters
# dir must exist (or mbox is created); (2*26)^4 = 7 mio possibilities...
:0
some/dir

# Deliver to dir/N, N = 1, incremented with each msg
:0
some/dir/.

# Deliver to dir/new/<time_t>.$$.<uname -s>
# dir/{cur,tmp}/ are also created
# This feature is available with procmail 3.15.1, but not with 3.13.1
:0
some/dir/
:0
some/dir//
