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 ... Service unavailable What did I do wrong ? With regards, Bart Pustjens To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
