Package: mailagent
Version: 1:3.1-81-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
When the LEAVE command is used, messages should be dropped into the
system mailbox of the user (/var/spool/mail/$user, which is the value of
the $mailfile variable, defined in /usr/bin/mailagent ). Instead of
that, the messages are dropped into ~/mbox.$user. The patch attached to
this bug report fixes the problem. The bug comes clearly from a typo and
it is surprising that it has not yet been noticed.
