Noted. But under Gentoo, /var/mail shouldn't exist. Gentoo standard is |

to have all mail delivered to ${HOME}/.maildir. |

When I begin cleaning up the MTA's I'll make sure that the MTA's deliver |

to the correct locations. |

Wait a minute. It's coming back to me. I remember creating a default |
15 |
/etc/postfix/main.cf that sets "home_mailbox = .maildir/". That should |
16 |
force postfix to deliver to ~/.maildir in maildir format. |

I think that this is more of a documentation bug... I guess we need to |

better communicate the things that Gentoo does differently on a FS |
22 |
basis. |
