Exim question.

hostonlinux · 08-13-2003, 01:39 PM

I have a debian box w/ exim. Exim seems to be working fine except that it does not deliver mail to /home/users, it only gets mail and keep it under /var/spool/mail/username. Everytiime when I check mail using Pine, it just said there are no new mail for me. I'm not sure if the problem is exim related or pine related problem
Did anybody have the problem b4 and was able to solve it ?
Thanks in advance

Does your $MAIL refer to correct place(/var/mail/user? Have you setup the pine correctly
(the inbox-path should be /var/mail/$USER)?

If you dont like the idea of mail being in the /var/mail dir, you could use procmail
with ~/.procmailrc containing something like

Code:

MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=mbox

To get your mail to the ~/mail/mbox (check that ~/mail directory exists).
