1/28 Where does inbound mail get spooled now? I had no problem moving
my old spool to /var/mail/$USER, but where is the new mail
spooling? (Yes, I read soda-changes.) Nothing is ending up in
/var/mail/$USER/new. Should it be?
\_ Do you have .procmailrc setup? If so, I needed to add
an additional rule at the end (after setting up the
DEFAULT=/var/mail/loginname):
DEFAULT=/var/mail/$USER):
:0:
$DEFAULT
If I didn't do that, my mail just shows up as a single
"msg.xxx" in the /var/mail/loginname directory.
"msg.xxx" in the /var/mail/$USER directory.
\_ nope, it's on a different server normal people don't have access
to. it's called 'seperation of services'. The next time
someone breaks into http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu, mail will
continue to be delivered since they can't break into
the machine that is handling delivery of email. Were you
in CS? Do you remember how all the instructional machines
didn't store your email on your local machine? Same theory.
\_ So I have to use IMAP or POP now? Is that right? I used to
use UCB mail.
\_ It certainly wasn't stored *locally* on every machine, but
it was available via NFS on instructional machines.
It looks to me like it /should/ be showing up on soda. I presume
'mead-mail' is where it's getting delivered-to on mead anyways.

\_ Absent procmail interference, mail should spool to the Maildir under
/var/mail/$USER. If that's not happening for you, something is wrong.
