OK, I tried. My /etc/procmailrc is: |
| 8 |
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME/ # that is the same |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Mail is still in "maildir" format but at least in /var/spool/mail. |
| 11 |

Q: How can I prohibit users from changing mail-path in their |
| 13 |
$HOME/.procmailrc back to $HOME/.maildir? That way they could |
| 14 |
circumvent my /var userqouta settings (100MB) and use /home |
| 15 |
settings (5GB)... |

One more problem: I can not force "elm" to read it. If I start elm |
| 18 |
with option "-f /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME", it complains that it is |
| 19 |
directory. When I try "elm -f /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME/new", the same. |
| 20 |
It seems to me, that elm simply can not read "maildir" format at all. |
| 21 |
I tried another command-line mailer, "mail": the same problem... |
| 22 |
Which command-line mail-reader supports maildir format? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And last question: I have access to one Debian box (which uses mbox |
| 25 |
format). After logging there I get either message "No mail", or |
| 26 |
"You have new mail". But I do not get any similar message on my |
| 27 |
Gentoo box. Why? Can I somehow activate it? |
