Sendmail delivers the local mail via a program. On my standard
Gentoo-sendmail 'mail.local' is used:
| [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/share/sendmail-cf $ cat /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
| divert(-1)
| divert(0)dnl
| include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl
| VERSIONID(`$Id: sendmail.mc,v 1.2 2004/12/07 01:59:31 g2boojum Exp $')dnl
| OSTYPE(linux)dnl
| DOMAIN(generic)dnl
| FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl
| FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`/usr/sbin/mail.local')dnl
| MAILER(local)dnl
| MAILER(smtp)dnl
The man-page for mail.local mentions:
| -h filename
| Store incoming mail in filename in the user's home directory
| instead of a system mail spool directory.
However, that is mailer specific. It looks from feature/local_lmtp.m4
that one would set the second argument to the mailer parameters. In my
case I would assume setting...
| FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`/usr/sbin/mail.local', `mail.local -l -f inbox')dnl
...would deliver the mails into the file 'inbox' in my home directory. I
haven't tried it though. The other option is using procmail. It's a bit
more complex, but also far more powerful. For procmail one would set...
| MAILER(procmail)
...and some more options I guess. The procmail configuration options can
be taken both from `man procmail` and from `man procmailrc'.
