- Hi all,
-
- Hope this's not an FAQ :-)
-
- I've setup a mail server to hold lot of user accounts. Since there's no
- such large disk to hold all the users, i've to make soft-links in
- /usr/mail to other filesystems. This works fine except when I quit elm,
- it copies the modified (if any) mailbox to /usr/mail, and thus
- overwrites the soft-link. I wonder if elm can update the "actual"
- mailbox in other filesystem follows the soft-link in /usr/mail.
-
- Would anyone please help ?
-
- Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
-
- PS: I'm using HP720 running HP-UX 8.07.
-
- Regards,
