I already know how the backup works to preserve last x messages in a
directory called messages, but I am looking to limit the INBOX to 50
messages. Everything beyond this would be purge with FIFO (First In,
First Out) rules. Can someone tell me how?
I have toyed with created an inbox lock file, but I do not think I have
the right permission to perform this. I was going to use formail skip
option to print item out.
How 'bout just cating the msg.* from my backup directory into
/var/mail/username? Are there any problems people can see with this?
Thanks,
