I want to configure email to deliver to ${HOME}/.mbox and I think I
understand that now. Configure /etc/procmailrc with:
MAILDIR=${HOME}/.mbox
Ultimately however, /home will be an NFS mount. I am wondering what
happens if that mount is not there when mail needs to be delivered. I
am reading that procmail will 'just create it' which seems bad.
I would like to configure procmail so that if the NFS mount is not
there, to just deliver to /var/mail/ (or /var/spool/mail) so that when I
get the NFS mount back, I believe I can use formail/procmail to later
get it from /var/mail to ${HOME}/.mbox. (If anyone has an example
configuration that does this, I'd love to see it)
or
To better understand my sendmail configuration, does the following line
mean:
FEATURE(local_procmail, `', `procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl
that if email can't be delivered (because the directory doesn't exist),
it will just go back into the mqueue for sendmail to try and deliver
later? Is this a valid solution, or will sendmail just get overloaded
with mail that can't be delivered? 'man procmail' shows this via the -t
option if I read correctly.
In the end, clients can get their email with dovecot via pop3 or imap
(or Usermin).
