Doesn't matter to the mail client. It just wants unique filenames per email, and the different hostnames help. It might help you, too, if you ever had to debug a mail issue. You'd be able to tell where a message came from simply by reading the filename. But, as I said. Generally, you don't see the filenames of emails, you use an email program that's an interface. There's a syntax to the email filenames for maildir: There's a unique id for each message, that's a lengthy part of the filename, it can be construed from hostnames and datestamps. And there's suffixes added which are flags for message statuses (e.g. that it's been read). Horsing around with the filenames just risks doing something that causes a failure. It's not like the rest of the filename is a particular sane thing for humans to read, anyway. It's all just a big long code. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 25 17:23:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
