Thanks for the replies. Before I responded to them, I wanted to double
check myself, and here's what I found:
I originally read mail.local(8) on a FreeBSD 2.2.6 workstation, which
states:
FILES
/var/tmp/local.XXXXXX temporary files
/var/mail/user user's mailbox directory
This morning before I replied to your emails, I read mail.local(8) on
the offending 2.2.5 server:
FILES
/tmp/local.XXXXXX temporary files
/var/mail/user user's mailbox directory
there it is.
Next time I'll make sure I read the man page on the machine with the
problem. :-)
Thanks so much for your help!
Chuck
