Hi all,

I tried to make my /home directory a symlink to something on a different disk (i.e., symlink across filesystems). It appeared to work fine when browsing directories, but mail delivery stopped!

I'm using Postfix, with procmail doing the local delivery.

Is there any reason that procmail (or anything else) would fail if /home is a symlink?

There's no reason why procmail should fail with a sym link, but in the event that there is something else going on simply tell procmail in your $HOME/.procmailrc where your home is.

MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail

You can also have procmail log everything that it's doing by turning verbose on and it should tell you what it doesn't like, be sure to tell it where the log file is, this is what I've used to identify problems.

VERBOSE=yes
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
#LOGABSTRACT=all

See the procmailrc for more info on what else you can do in .procmailrc
