The "-" is used as a marker indicating that a router is processing it.
The format is, I think, messageId-RouterPid.

Routers will not touch x-y messages believing that some other router is
already
in the process.
Beware that zmailer needs the filenames to be unique along the way, so
usually
inode number is used for filename. BTW, all the postoffice should be
kept in a single
filesystem...

Standard procedure to create messages is creating them at
public/whatever, then move it to
router/inodeNumber (so you don't let a router to route your message
before it is
complete)
