First, the nnml trees aren't, and can't be, in the same directory, so the active files need to be discrete. If I symlinked the tivoli.* and support.* trees and procmail spool files into my home directories, the discrete active files would potentially result in articles being overwritten (Gnus-office looks in it's active file, sees that the high article number in it's active file for support.mail is 3456, and proceeds to write articles 3457-3498. Then Gnus-home looks at it's active file, sees that the high article number is 3432, and writes 3433-3459). Second, yes, there are name collisions: mail.misc, mail.daemon, list.ding, etc. The problem here seems to be that, while Gnus knows how to deal with multiple backends, and multiple nntp backends, the nnml backend isn't designed to handle multiple instances. That's what I need: dual nnml 'servers'. -- +---------------------- Tivoli Customer Support ----------------------+ | Sten Drescher Tivoli Systems, Inc | | email: sten.drescher@tivoli.com 9442 Capital of Texas Hwy North | | phone: (512) 794-9070 Arboretum Plaza One, Suite 500 | | fax : (512) 345-2784 Austin, Texas 78759 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
