Could someone just setup a symbolic link from the old directory to a new
directory on usr/spool/mail?

I have been trying to figure out a way to change my
procmail delivery path from /var/spool/mail to
/usr/spool/mail .. I have read through a lot of
information and see most of it is explaining how to
change the path the the users home directories.
Currently I am running Procmail V3.14 with sendmail
V8.11.0 on Redhat 7.
I am running out of space - The partition where var is
located is very small!!
Can anyone help?
Thanks -

Stephanie:
Generally, $ORGMAIL should point to your system mailbox. The default
value for this is /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME If your system mailboxes are
in a different location, then setting this variable will help to fix your
problem. Check to be sure that $LOGNAME is correctly set in your
environment, then if you have the following in your your ~/.procmailrc
file, it might do what you want:
ORGMAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
The value of the $DEFAULT variable is tbe default mailbox file to which
Procmail delivers. It defaults to the value of the $ORGMAIL variable, so
setting $ORGMAIL should fix the problem, assuming that your system
mailboxes are in fact in a different location.
Good luck!
