I realize this question has been brought up plenty of times but.... I am a
newbie to this and I am finding plenty of misleading information.
Can anyone tell me all the steps necessary to deliver mail to the users
home directory rather than /var/spool/mail
Edit the file src/authenticate.c in the procmail source tree. Find the
lines that read:
/*#define MAILSPOOLHOME "/.mail" /* watch the leading / */
/* delivers to $HOME/.mail */
Remove the "/*" at the beginning of the first of those and change the
"/.mail" to whatever is appropriate. If you want mail to be delivered
to $HOME/.mailspool you would change it to read
#define MAILSPOOLHOME "/.mailspool"
The recompile and reinstall.
