mbox w/o home

2001-03-06 Thread Rodolfo Sampaio


Hi!

Im migrating from sendmail to qmail 1.03+fastfoward using mbox format
/var/spool/mail. The problem is that almost all of my users uses /tmp as
home and /dev/null as a fake shell and qmail is refusing to distribute
these mails... it wont give an error... it justs drop the mail. There is a
way that i can make qmail distribute these emails?

Hi-

qmail needs a non-world-writable location to place a user's email.  If all
your users have /tmp as home, who owns /tmp/mbox???

You need to setup your user accounts properly with individual,
non-world-writabele home directories, or
use some other tool to locally deliver the mail.
