Ray, We did this, and love having mailboxes in people's home directories. We did this by using procmail as the local mailer, cucipop as the popper. For both of these, check authenticate.c for details on how to set it to deliver to $HOME/.mail For imap/pine/pop3d (c-client) check the sysinbox() function in src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c I haven't yet taken the time to figure out elm or mutt source, but they can be easily handled from a shell alias. One utility that get's broken, is finger. I've not yet taken the time to patch it up to make it look in $HOME/.mail for mail info on users. Good luck, -- Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> iPlus Internet Services On Thu, 27 May 1999, Ray Bagby wrote: > Greetings, > I need some help with moving our users' mail boxes to another directory, > it would be best if it were their home directories.
