Hello.
We have a small, single-real-IP, masquaderaded Linux network. We run qmail
on the so-called metabox, which uses NFS home directories to put received
mail in users' ~/Mailbox. Works quite well, generally.
On the hosts containing the NFS exported home directories, there is also the
lingering /var/spool/mail tree. In some cases we've used this in
conjunction with fetchpop or mutt's function to get at other mailboxes, and,
although a bit awkward, it's a nice facility.
Problem is that everything "detecting" mail checks for the
/var/spool/mail/user file, not ~/Mailbox. I can't find documentation about
how to have the "you have mail"/"you have new mail" etc. be based on the
"real" mailbox in the home directory.
Another issue is this: I intend to get procmail (or is there a better way?)
to sort out mailing lists from BOTH the mailboxes written to by qmail, and
the fetchpop'd ones. Has anyone been through this? I'm reading the man
pages and they look good, but I'm looking for pointers in this particular
unique situation.
TIA,
Brian Butler
