Well lets see a fast scan if man pages and related things lists as items
which (on SunOS) specifically reference /var/spool/mail/ :
Any reason why one couldn't place symlinks:
cd /usr/spool/mail
foreach i (*)
mv $i ~{$i}/.newmail
ln -s ~{$i}/.newmail $i
end
chmod 555 /usr/spool/mail # to prevent removal of the links.
That's a serious question; I've been debating this for a while. We'd
like users' mail not to occupy space in a public filesystem, but
rather take up space under the area where quotas are enforced.
