Promail & Qmail message name

I am running Qmail using the Maildir storage format. Recently, I installed
procmail so I could have a little more control over the mail handling. I
have noticed that the name of messages that are processed by procmail
changes.

What normally looks like this:
1113243670.17978_1.vs01.domain.tld

Ends up looking like:
msg.NFwf

Does anyone know why this happens and is there any way to change this? It's
not that important, but I find it a bit odd that the name is being changed.

Thank You,
Jason Williard

procmail is broken.

Jason,

Make sure you are using procmail version 3.22 and modify the
authenticate.c file to reflect a directory for the MAILSPOOLHOME
variable ala '/Maildir/'

when you run procmail -v what is the output?
