Do you really want to do a bulk transfer, or do you merely want the e-mail to just be in ~joeuser/Mail? If the latter, then consider not putting the e-mail in /var/spool/mail in the first place, instead put in a symbolic link for each user pointing from /var/spool/mail/josuser to /home/jouser/Mail. If this looks sensible, try it with one user and see if it works. For one user you will want to do something like: /etc/init.d/sendmail stop ; \ mv /var/spool/mail/joeuser /home/joeuser/Mail ; ln -s /home/joeuser/Mail /var/spool/mail/joeuser ; \ /etc/init.d/sendmail start For many users you probably want to put the above in a script, doing the mv/ln part for all users. -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
