Hello,
I have installed procmail-3.11pre6 and I am trying To
deliver mail to the user's home directory I have uncommented the define
MAILSPOOLHOME in authenticate.c and rebuilt procmail. This is by default
set to "/.mail" in which case the mail is delivered to .mail in the home
directory. What I want is the mail to be delivered to in the user's
name(as in the default /var/mail/$LOGNAME) rather than ./mail. The reason
is that when I check mail and if there is no mail, I get the message 'no
mail for .mail' rather than 'no mail for $LOGNAME' which is a bit
annoying. I know that this is a /bin/mail problem but is there some
simple way of fixing this ? One could always inform the users about this
but there are some who wouldn't understand it at all. I also don't want to
create links in every users directory.
I am new to procmail and I apologize if this is something
trivial.
Thanks in advance,
Devdas
