Hello,
That more or less exactly the same on my side.
I should have wrote /var/mail/ in fact.

And it is just to read all the emails (root) aliased to my user.

But:
- I directly use /var/mail/didier, not /var/spool/mail/didier

Hi,
I use sendmail as the default MTA, and have ~/.procmailrc for filtering

However, in my newly installed system (Lenny), my mails stay in /var/

How should I fix it? Do I need that .forward file?

I saw that there are these two directories. /var/mail/ seems to be
in mbox formal and /var/spool/mail/ in maildir format.
They both seem to coexist on my system and I was wondering what program
is writing to which and is there some sync between them in either
direction?

2) if this can be dangerous in any way from a security point of view ?

Hi,
perhaps something is wrong with the filepermissions for

not a good idea unless you lock your mailbox first, man lockfile. if
you don't lock your mailbox you might get a message delivered right
before you zero out your mailbox, in which case you lose it.

I have /var/spool/mail nfs mounted on my client machines, so users on
the clients can use movemail to get their mail, and so mail sent to the
client machines will go to the universal spool on the server.
Unfortunately, when the server goes down, even root cannot log in to the
clients

sol:forrest[~]>ll /var/spool/mail/forrest /var/spool/mail/testuser
