I'm running RedHat 6.2 / Sendmail 8.9.3-20 and Procmail v3.14.
My /var partition is full and i'd like user's mailbox to be located in
their
home directory (the /home partition is bigger !)
It works well, all incoming mail is now moved to my user's folder.
Now, the problem is we can't get mail with client mailer like Outlook...
I suppose you're trying to download with POP or IMAP, right? Most
likely the POP/IMAP server can't find the users mailbox. Never
done it before, but I suppose you could configure your POP server to
look for mail boxes in the user home directories.
You know, you could also simlink the mail spool directory to the
home partition and leave the mail system alone:
% mv /var/spool/mail /home/mail
% ln -s /home/mail /var/spool/mail
Eek, this is more extensive than I thought. Perhaps look into
implementing qmail, which stores it's spools on /home.
But that symlink might be a good work around.
