You should be able to use '--enable-home-dir-mail' with ./configure.
If the spool file in the user's home directory has a variable name
(for example the user's name) then this won't work. I'd suggest
configuring your local delivery agent to either use a fixed file name
in the user's home directory (such as the common '.mail') or to use a
spool file in the spool directory.
