I have added the following to /etc/bashrc: export MAIL="$HOME/Mailbox" Then i sent mail to the user. Waiting at least sixty seconds, the default time for new mail to be recognized by bash, I logged the user in and got "No mail." However, when I ran pine, there was one message waiting for the user in their mailbox (/home/testguy/Mailbox). Also, I typed $MAIL at the prompt just to see if it actually set the variable. It did, and outputted bash: /home/testguy/Mailbox: Permission denied It tried to execute it i guess. So I've set the right variables, yet there is still no mail notification. When the mail is delivered, its logged as the following: Feb 17 13:32:09 damacles qmail: 950812329.586803 info msg 40216: bytes 860 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 5997 uid 505 Feb 17 13:32:09 damacles qmail: 950812329.591122 starting delivery 11: msg 40216 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feb 17 13:32:09 damacles qmail: 950812329.591253 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Feb 17 13:32:09 damacles qmail: 950812329.620449 delivery 11: success: did_0+0+1/ Feb 17 13:32:09 damacles qmail: 950812329.620717 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Feb 17 13:32:09 damacles qmail: 950812329.620818 end msg 40216 Anyone know why there is still no mail notification? There's no symbolic link to /var/spool/mail/testguy, because I'm trying to avoid doing that for each user. (Hence setting the MAIL variable in bash). Thanks for the help, Eric
