Did you also change it in ../autoconf.h?
Yes, that is I changed it in autoconf which created autoconf.h with the
correct spool dir
#define MAILSPOOLDIR "/sd3/mail/"
(with trailing slash).
I thought maybe it's the permissions but they are exactly the same as for the
/var/spool/mail setup that works fine (with 3.10 btw):
/var/spool/mail = root.mail and drwxrwxr_x
maildrops = <uid>.<ugid>
lockfiles = <uid>.<ugid> and _r________

Hello all (first time on this list),
Appologies if this has already been answered in the recent past:
Linux 2.0.35
sendmail 8.9.0
procmail v3.11pre7 globally invoked from sendmail
I need to use a non-standard mailspool dir for reasons I won't go into
now....
The chosen mailspool is on a seperate partition: /sd3/mail
Permissions are the same as for /var/spool/mail
MAILSPOOLDIR in authenticate.c has been set:
#define MAILSPOOLDIR "/sd3/mail/"
Mail is delivered just fine but lockfiles are completely ignored.
I create my own lockfiles with my own pop3 mail server and this has worked
very nicely on several systems using the default /var/spool/mail for many
months.
