We have implemented a centralized mail directory through nfs shares on all of our servers for our customers. We have noticed that when a user shells into a server and runs pine,elm, or other mail client, that the contents of /var/mail gets moved to the users directory mbox. The problem is most of our shell users like to browse the mail with shell mail client and then use ie/netscape to download the mail later on. When they try to download the mail with ie/netscape, there is no mail, but if they shell into the server and run pine, messages are there. Is there a way to prevent this without having to change 12k+ user files?
