[BlueOnyx:05142] Re: question on importing sendmail content fromnon-blueonyx server

[Rickard Osser]

Hi,

there's just not enough room on /var for putting the e-mail files in the
regular spool directory on BO. All user mail-spool files are saved in
the users home-dir as "mbox". That's all there is to it...

Regards,

Rickard
