Greetings,
Our mail server runs UW IMAPD on Debian Linux.
For many users, our MTA (exim4) use ~/.procmailrc to move mail to
~/mbox when it comes in. For some other users who do not have a
.procmailrc in their ~ , it seems that mail stays in
/var/spool/mail/username until they connect via IMAP, at which point
IMAPd moves the mail to their mbox (according to syslog):
Example from syslog:
Apr 13 11:09:36 caen imapd[28575]: Moved 1638 bytes of new mail to
/homes/user/mbox from /var/mail/user host= examplehost.com [123.95.17.2]
For some other users still, the mail stays in
/var/spool/mail/username, IMAP functions normally but the mail stays.
I am trying to figure out why IMAPd moves some users mail to their mbox
and keeps other users in /var/spool/mail .
Thank you,
Kevin Long
