Hi!

For several reasons I want to move the mail account
from one user to his home dir. I moved the file
from /var/mail to /home/user and made a symbolic
link (ln -s /home/user/userbox /var/mail/userbox).
The file userbox in /home/user/ has (ofcourse?) the
rights of the user (and the group of the user).
But for some weird reason sendmail gives an error
when accepting mail for this user:

... while talking to local:
>>> DATA
<<< 550 5.2.0 /var/mail/userbox: irregular file
554 <mark@[213.51.33.242]>... Service unavailable

What did I do wrong ?

With regards,
Bart Pustjens
