OK, I've been fighting with my old qmail/procmail/gnus configuration
for too long, and now I'm ready to scrap the whole thing and start
anew. I'd like to get rid of procmail completely.
I want to keep qmail separating my mail --- I get mail addressed to
dave-<something>@bfnet.com and qmail is smart enough to separate that
into a Maildir called ~/Mail/<something>/Maildir.
Next, I want gnus to slurp the mail out of Maildir. Here is my
current test setup:
(setq mail-sources '((maildir :path "/home/dave/Mail/test/Maildir/new")))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "private"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)
Here are my questions:
0. Can anyone out there using qmail and gnus send me thier config?
1. What use is the string "private" in the gnus-select-method?
2. Should I set mail-sources to a function that looks for
~/Mail/*/Maildir and returns a list of (maildir) sources with
their various paths, or is there a better way?
Dave
