Sluggers, I've been asked to look at an "unreliable" sendmail system.
One thing that I have seen is that the mailboxes in /var/spool/mail are replaced by symbolic links to another directory on a different partition. Ok so a bit different but nothing really weird, maybe they need the space, but what is weird is the link points to for example /var/spool/mail/mymail --> /home/sites/site34/../../spool/mail/mymail Does anyone have any idea why the ../../ in the symbolic link. Is this some cleverness that I haven't seen before, as the link is in effect /home/spool/mail/mymail. Would this have any effect, I can't think of any.
