depends on your mail delivery agent, on one of my systems mail goes to ~/mail and the MDA is procmail so I have: PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # You'd better make sure it exists DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail in my /etc/procmailrc there may be another way but that's how I've been doin it for 3 years now. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
