Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll just try the symbolic link thing 
first. If that doesn't work, I'll just adjust the config file, as Frank 
mentioned.

Cheers,
Jorn

I am not sure whether symbolic links are supported by postfix.
But i do know that postfix can change it's mailqueue dir..It's a setting
grep '/var' main.cf :-) and change that to your new directory.
At least that is what i did and it worked. Since i am at work i cannot
provide a example, but if you wish, i can send you that later today.

Cheers!

My common sense tells me that I should just link /var/mail to /usr/mail 
or something like that, and to copy the original /var/mail content to 
/usr/mail. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Configuring postfix itself in the main.cf file might be better I think.
mail_spool_directory=/your/directory
Hope this helps

Small Postfix Question

Hi all,
I was wondering if Postfix could follow symbolic links, since I only 
have an 512M /var partition. I would rather link it to the /usr 
partition, which is about 55G.

My common sense tells me that I should just link /var/mail to /usr/mail 
or something like that, and to copy the original /var/mail content to 
/usr/mail. Please correct me if I am wrong.
