Because of "/var" size considerations, I'd like to use a symlinked
"/usr" directory for email instead of "/var/mail".
Based on today's research, I think the following will work.
With mail delivery off, I 'su' and:
mkdir /usr/var.mail
cd /var
cp -p mail/* /usr/var.mail/
mv mail mail.bak
ln -s /usr/var.mail mail
Since 'ls -l /var' shows:
drwxrwxrwt 2 root mail 512 Dec 14 14:24 mail
I should then:
cd /usr
chmod 1777 var.mail
chown root:mail var.mail
No changes are made to the "/var/mail" symlink.
Then, if everything works, I just delete "/usr/mail.bak".
Does this seem OK?
Sorry to bother everyone with what's probably a trivial question, but
I *really* want to avoid screwing-up. The machine is remote; accessed
via ssh.
Thanks!

Sounds reasonable to me.
I'd just check afterwards if the permissions are like you want them to
be, i.e. as they have been before...
And you might send one or another testmail to the an account on the
system to see if everything works as before, before you delete the
mail.mak directory...
