I would also have to change where the program that sendmail uses to
deliver mail delivers the mail, correct?
Yes, often this is procmail.

You can set this in the respective config file with

MAILDIR=$HOME

Attention: "Maildir" here just is the mailbox location, procmail assumes
the mbox format by default. If you actually use the "Maildir" _/format/_,
you must specify

MAILDIR=$HOME/



HTH,

Thanks very much Jakob. I'm still trying to figure out what program is actually doing the local delivery. I'll post results when I figure that one out.

Thanks again,
