Subject: Procmail as local mailer


> Okay, I'm going to be adding a LOT of users really soon, such that no
> single partition I have can handle all the mail these users could
> accumulate, and to this end I wanted to put mailboxes in the user
> homedirs.

> I tried first doing this through simple symlinks, but sendmail reorts
> invalid format, so after a bit of reading I discovered that having
> procmail as a local mailer enables it.  I compiled and installed (making
> the necessary changes to authenticate.c), and had a few problems that were
> corrected with the enclosed /usr/local/etc/procmailrc

> My problem is this:According to ALL the documentation, it's okay to create
> symlinks in /var/mail so that things like pine function right without
> recompilation.  So why is procmail still renaming the symlinks to
> bogus.Whatever, if it's set to deliver to the homedirs?
