We have 5 clients and a file server. I would like to centralize the mail spool in a public directory ie. /usr2/mail/somename . My users are very likely to log in on different machines during the day, also serveral people are likely to use the same login name. I know I can send mail(1) to a full path name instead of to a login name. How can I get biff(1) to watch for mail sent to a pathname instead to user@machine ??? Greg Ripp PH: (813)628-6100

Well, you can modify "sendmail" to notify the "comsat" daemon whenever it stuffs mail into a file - assuming you can figure out which user to notify (perhaps the owner of the file?) You can't do it with the vanilla software, however.
