"mailbox as soft link" problem

2008-07-09 05:50:06
Hi All, 

We have to distribute the mailbox files of our (about 1200) users on our
mailserver to different hard discs. So we tried to  set up soft links for
each user like

    /var/spool/mail/a_user001 -> /var/lv01/a/a_user001
    /var/spool/mail/b_user123 -> /var/lv02/b/b_user123
    /var/spool/mail/x_user234 -> /var/lv04/x/x_user234

But now procmail thinks that these are ³bogus² files, renames them to
something like ³BOGUS.a_user001.bg² and creates a new INBOX file
/var/spool/mail/a_user001 which of course breaks our effort of distributing
the mailbox files on different disks.

How can i prevent this and let procmail use the links as the ³real² INBOX
file?

Any hints are appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help
