Those directories are there for hashing the scheduler work-directory
into smaller bits, and thus reducing the work the system has to do on
directory related operations -- like when opening a file, and needing
to read thru the directory at first to locate the i-node number...
>From README.UPGRADING:
ZMailer-2.99.37:
Mailbox locks are now runtime configurable, see the
manpage of mailbox.8 and also SiteConfig(.in)
The scheduler is capable to spread its working set into
subdirectories to shorten the system directory access
time, however the setup REQUIRES matching transporters.
The change is in the library function ctlopen(), which
means that your custom transporters need just be relinked.
