One problem is that many user e-mail programs expect to find their incoming spool in /var/spool/mail/joeuser, isn't it? An advantage of using a symbolic link from that directory is that everyone can follow that link and you aren't stuck configuring yet another e-mail client program. -kb, the Kent who didn't think up the symoblic link trick himself, rather he learned it from the qmail installation instructions, this Kent wouldn't think of running sendmail. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
