Hi, friends. I have discovered why my spoolfile had disappeared.
I check my pop servers with fetchmail, and procmail send them to my spoolfile. My spoolfile is in ~/mail/spoolfile. Environment variable $MAIL=~/mail/spoolfile When I received a new mail it goes to spoolfile, but if I check mail with terminal command > mail it says there is 1 mail, then I type 1<enter> to read the new mail. After reading it, command mail delete spoolfile because it is empty. Now I use procmail to make an automatic backup in spoolfile~ with :0c: spoolfile~ :0: spoolfile So if I use ever again the command > mail to read any new mail in spoolfile, I now to have a backup in spoolfile~. With logrotate I keep it not growing too much. Question: Is it posible to avoid that command mail delete spoolfile when it has no mail, just let it 0 bytes? I hope my english is enough clear :-) Best regards.
