Re: /var/mail still keeping mails (quota problem)

2005-05-19 04:19:41
ok found what was the problem, quotas

I got quota set on /home and on /var
when /home reaches its limit procmail leaves mail on /var/spool/mail/xxxx and 
after users download their mails from /home procmail doesn't catch the 
remaining mails on /var/spool/mail/xxxx they stay there forever

Is there a way around this? or should I use mail only in  /var/spool/mail/xxxx

[/etc/procmailrc, not all mails delivered as expected]
I have a simple setup with only this on /etc/procmailrc

    DEFAULT=$HOME/inbox      #Make sure this exists!

Maybe some users have a $HOME/.procmailrc
or a $HOME/.forward?


Change the /etc/procmailrc to something like

  DROPPRIVS = 'yes'
  LOGFILE   = "$HOME/etc_procmailrc.log"
  LOG       = "=$$=
"           # has a newline at the end
  VERBOSE   = 'on'
  DEFAULT   = "$HOME/inbox"  # should work OK even if it doesn't exist

and check the created log-files.
