I agree, I used to deliver to /var/spool/mail/$USER but I am happy to say I do no longer. The only way I was able to do it was to use procmail and fastforward for my aliases. I cant remember the syntax exactly but you need a .qmail-default to call procmail from. Its ugly, unreliable, and a security risk. Why would you not use qmail in the way it was intended? just my .02 -----Original Message----- From: Peter Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2000 10:32 AM To: Kristina Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: /var/spool/mail delivery using a dot-qmail file On Fri, Feb 04, 2000 at 05:10:01PM +0900, Kristina wrote: > I want to configure qmail-local to deliver mail to /var/spool/mail. > The /usr/share/man/cat5/dot-qmail.0 file tells you how to write a > .qmail file to change delivery, however its too difficult for me to comprehe > nd. > > Can someone help me here? > Thanks in advance, > Kristina > > P.S I do not want to use /bin/mail or procmail for /var/spool/mail delivery. > I want to use qmail-local. "I would like to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest. P.S. I do not want to use an axe or a chainsaw. I want to use a herring." Sorry in advance, but that's what your question sounds like. I don't think qmail-local can do this because /var/spool/mail/$USER is not a good thing, in many people's opinion. Delivery to vsm is only supported by third-party apps, like procmail, as far as I know. Right tool for the right job, and all that... /pg -- Peter Green Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
