For instance, see "man mail.local": -h filename Store incoming mail in filename in the user's home directory instead of a system mail spool directory. and /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/mail.local/mail.local.c: char *HomeMailFile = NULL; /* store mail in homedir */ -Chuck Chuck Swiger | chuck@codefab.com | All your packets are belong to us. -------------+-------------------+----------------------------------- "The human race's favorite method for being in control of the facts is to ignore them." -Celia Green To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
