Hi - 

I am just upgrading to 4.0 from 3.1.1 on RedHat 6.1

I am using sendmail 8.9.3 with procmail as local mailer.

Up to now, my system by default has delivered mail to
/var/spool/mail/user,

but now I want to reset the system so mail is appended to a file in the
users' home dir.

I can put a .procmailrc file in each home dir and the mail gets written
there OK, and I have just built qpopper 4.0 with the --enable-home-
dir=.mail. 

On testing, qpopper finds the mail in the $HOME/.mail files OK, but it
doesn't seem to be reading the spool for accounts that still have mail
left there.

I thought qpopper checked both by default once it was configured to read
mailfiles in the home dir? 

Or will I have to set a changeover date and copy all the mailfiles from
/var/spool over to their corresponding $HOME dir/.mail files?

What am I missing? Is it a case of qpopper only looks in one or the
other?

TIA

Peter Rose
