- Our site is uses MMDF as its mail transport agent. It deposits
- mail into the user's ~/mailbox directory.
-
- One of the questions Configure asks is:
- Where is yet-to-be-read mail spooled? [/usr/spool/mail/]
-
- When I specify ~/mailbox, and re-run Configure, I get:
- Where is yet-to-be-read mail spooled? [/d4m/wsadkin/mailbox]
-
- (ie. it's expanding the ~ for me personally, and not using the generic
- "home directory".)
-
- I can't change the fact that all mail is not deposited in one central
- directory.
-
- What do I do?
