I have check the .qmail file and all are as such;
/var/mail/bronwen
/var/mail/amach
/var/mail/hannaht
And nothing more?
The link from /var/mail to /usr/mail looks like this (and is delivering
for about one thousand other people correctly :)
ella 58# ls -la /var/mail
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 9 Dec 21 01:25 /var/mail -> /usr/mail/
Now, I believe the link should be the other way around. For procmail,
this is necessary: from the man page:
======================
If /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox (i.e. does
not belong to the recipient, is unwritable, is a symbolic
link or is a hard link), procmail will upon startup try to
rename it into a file starting with `BOGUS.' and ending in
an inode-sequence-code. If this turns out to be impossi-
ble, ORGMAIL will have no initial value, and hence will
inhibit delivery without a proper rcfile.
=================================
As for the idea that /bin/mail may be running, this could be a problem. Is
this the same as when users type mail at the prompt? But many users use
this and there are no problems.
No, what I thought that somehow /bin/mail or procmail is used as a
local delivery agent. Are you using the qmail-users mechanism? (is
there /var/qmail/users/assign file)
BTWY, what do you meant that for some users mail gets deleted? Does
the mail get delivered?
