Hi there!

What is the following error message?
How can I fix it?

procmail: Couldn't create "/var/spool/mail/jphong1"

Apparently your system has a different location for the system mailboxes
(procmail uses /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME as the default).

Find where they are in your site and set the respective variable in your
recipe.

For instance, if they are in /var/mail (as in a Solaris box I once worked
with), add this to the preamble in your .procmailrc

ORGMAIL=/var/mail/$LOGNAME

(make sure your system does use $LOGNAME :) `echo $LOGNAME`
