Re: Mail folders and Postfix

I would check /etc/login.defs, you can specify the Mail drop there. You 
can further customize the default adduser options in /etc/adduser.conf 
(i think it is...)

I'm currently running Debian STABLE on a P3 900 with 512mb ram and 
60GB of HDD space.. My problem is this..

When I create a new user account, according to logcheck e-mails, the 
system is setting new users' e-mail boxes to /dev/null..

Doing a first time run of pine with each user fixes the problem, but 
I'd like to try and fix the defaults.. Where would I find this setting?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

/etc/skel
after maildirmake for a user, copy Maildir to /etc/skel and chmod it 
to root, you can put there also any other precofiguration per user
