OK, I tried. My /etc/procmailrc is: DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME/ # that is the same Mail is still in "maildir" format but at least in /var/spool/mail. Q: How can I prohibit users from changing mail-path in their $HOME/.procmailrc back to $HOME/.maildir? That way they could circumvent my /var userqouta settings (100MB) and use /home settings (5GB)... One more problem: I can not force "elm" to read it. If I start elm with option "-f /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME", it complains that it is directory. When I try "elm -f /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME/new", the same. It seems to me, that elm simply can not read "maildir" format at all. I tried another command-line mailer, "mail": the same problem... Which command-line mail-reader supports maildir format? And last question: I have access to one Debian box (which uses mbox format). After logging there I get either message "No mail", or "You have new mail". But I do not get any similar message on my Gentoo box. Why? Can I somehow activate it? Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
