Hy everybody
I put a /etc/procmailrc on my system tu make procmail writting to
/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME instedd of writting to
/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME but I have this problem,
I'm surprised: on most systems that even _have_ a /usr/spool/mail, it's
a symbolic link to /var/spool/mail. Why are you moving the mailspool
back under the directory when most software written in the last 10
years prefers /var/spool/mail to /usr/spool/mail? It may be easier to
fix whatever application you have looking is /usr/spool/mail or to just
install the aforementioned symlink.
...
this is my /etc/procmail:
LOCKFILE=/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME.lock
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmailrc.log
:0
/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
I just want procmail to deliver to /usr/spool/mail/, \xBFany suggestion?
Go into the procmail source tree. Type "make autoconf.h", then edit
the generated autoconf.h file and change the line
#define MAILSPOOLDIR "/var/spool/mail"
to
#define MAILSPOOLDIR "/usr/spool/mail"
Then type "make", install the resulting binaries, and then remove that
/etc/procmailrc file.
