I assume he's talking about this: If /var/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox (i.e. does not belong to the recipient, is unwritable, is a symbolic link or is a hard link), procmail will upon startup try to re- name it into a file starting with `BOGUS.' and ending in BuGless 1997/04/11 12 PROCMAIL(1) PROCMAIL(1) an inode-sequence-code. If this turns out to be impossi- ble, ORGMAIL will have no initial value, and hence will inhibit delivery without a proper rcfile. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
