Hi Frederic Janssens,
my mail, on a Sun, is spooled in /var/mail
procmail processes it but keeps complaining about files in the nonexistant
/usr/spool/mail.
What is the proper way to tell procmail to use /var/mail instead of
/usr/spool/mail ?
Insert a
ORGMAIL= /var/mail/$LOGNAME
in your .procmailrc.
Taken from procmailrc.1
ORGMAIL /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
(Unless -m has been specified, in which case it is
unset)
ORGMAIL Usually the system mailbox (ORiGinal MAILbox). If, for
some obscure reason
(like `filesystem full') the mail could not be delivered,
then this mailbox will
be the last resort. If procmail fails to save the mail
in here (deep, deep
trouble :-), then the mail will bounce back to the sender.
Hope this helps
regards
Martin
