Re: [ILUG-BOM] stable version of sendmail [was: (no subject)]

Sometime on Dec 25, Hiten Desai assembled some asciibets to say:

Please use a descriptive subject line.

Hi!can anyone tell me which would be the most stable version of sendmail

The latest version, whichever that is. Check sendmail.org.

and if someone has already written script for transferring mail from /var/spool/mail to /home/(user)/inbox i.e. overwriting it and zeroing the file which is at /var/spool/mail/(user)

You don't need a script for this. I think sendmail can do it on its own. Just set the MAIL environment variable. If that doesn't work, then a simple .procmailrc file will do the trick:

DEFAULT=$HOME/inbox

That should cause procmail to use your inbox as the default mailbox.
