Before you go recompiling anything, or changing your configs, tell us what is your local delivery agent (LDA)? Many setups do not have sendmail or postfix actually delivering local mail, they pass it off to procmail or similar. If procmail is delivering yourr mail, you need to change procmail, not sendmail. Also are you sure you really want to go to mbox? it is in most ways inferior. > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
