I use Procmail and SmartList along with Exim MTA for making a mailing
list. It works fine until the system administrator relocated all the
user's mailbox from /var/mail to each user's directory. This was
intended to put a limit on the disk capacity used by each user for
their mail. And all the list's mailbox was also relocated as well.
Mailing list processing still works fine in delivering the mail to each
of it's member but there is a 'little' error sent to the sender as a
notification. It is:
procmail: Renaming bogus mailbox "/var/mail/slist" into "/var/mail/BOGUS.jB"
procmail: Couldn't create "/var/mail/slist"
I have tried to search around a way to fix this error but I couldn't find it.
Is there anybody here care to help me?
The solution is to recompile procmail so that it knows that mail spools
are in each user's home directory. If you didn't compile procmail to
begin with then you'll need to have your sysadmin do this.
Obtain procmail 3.11pre7 if you haven't already. Edit
src/authentication.c to reflect the new mail spool location. This will
involve uncommenting the #define of MAILSPOOLHOME, and possibly
altering its value to match what you sysadmin used. Recompile and
reinstall.
