Hello Muditha, Make a symbolic link from /var/mail to the actual place where you store the mail, in your case it could be the /home partition. Or simply add a new disk to hold mailboxes, mailqueue etc. Its very easy to add a new disk, just use the /stand/sysinstall custom option. If you prefer the first alternative you should kill sendmail, mv /var/mail to /home/mail and then "cd /var; ln -s /home/mail mail" . I wont recommend making /home smaller and /var bigger. It will prob ruin all data on the partitions. :-) MVH, Christoffer Walther Unix Admin & Hostmaster PROVENTUM On Wed, 4 Jun 1997, Muditha Gunatilake wrote: > Hi, > We are using POP and SMTP for our mail.
