Do what configuration file is that? The only files I use are ~/.muttrc

Re: what triggers you have mail (OFFLIST)

   Hrm, when you print out your environment variables, what
 is MAIL or mail ? Do either of those variables exist, and if so
 what are they set to? And if set, does a file exist at that
 location?

I don't know how to print out environment variables, but 
echo $MAIL

and 

echo $mail 

both are empty.

I should have mentioned this to begin with, but the actual message
I am getting is;

you have mail in /usr/david

which points to my home directory, which maybe is the result
when $MAIL is empty. However, I don't see what specific file
in /usr/david that would be triggering the message.  I do notice
that I am getting incoming mail in /usr/david/tmp which each 
carry the mutt-??? tag.  Note;

$ cd /usr/david/tmp
$ ls -tl

total 640

You can create the alias in /etc/aliases
After you have done it, you run newaliases as root.

If you are running Postfix, you can modify the aliases file specified in your 
main.cf and then run postalias on the file.

what triggers you have mail

2007-08-01 Thread David Banning
I keep getting the you have mail reminder. I am using Maildir
and I have no new mail. I also have looked in /var/mail and
nothing is new. Wondering what is being checked and where it
is set.

Maybe look in
/var/spool/clientmqueue
or /var/spool/mqueue

Though, honestly, most server-side mail stuff baffles me.
