Hi,
I'm doing this as root :)
If I delete the file /var/mail/andy then try running
/usr/sbin/maidag andy <<EOF
and then type
From: root
Subject: x
test
EOF
then no file is created and I get the error:
Cannot open mailbox /var/mail/andy: Malformed or unsupported mailer URL
If I run
touch /var/mail/andy
chown andy /var/mail/andy
then run the maidag command as above then it works
What am I doing wrong?
Andy
