Is there a way to change the mail spool location from /var/mail/ to some other place? I'm thinking of users own home directory or $HOME/.mail.
This is because system partition is not big enough to keep all mail from the company and /home is in a different one.
Creating another partition to keep /var or /var/mail seems too much just to keep emails.
Solution: checking /usr/doc/procmail-x.xx/examples/advanced
Running 13.37 with either the stock 2.6.37.6 or 2.6.38.4 from /testing and the stock mutt I am having to wait 3-8 seconds while mutt reads my mail spool. Hmmm on closer examination read speed is actually fine, pressing F5 to refresh shows the spool immediately. Some odd refresh problem, this with xfce.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSince school ended, I decided to finally wipe and due a clean upgrade to Slackware 13.0. Everything is great except one thing. When I want to save something in firefox, the "save as" window that popups up, that allows you to browse to right directory, popups too low. In my window manager(wmii), the bottom is cutoff. I want to have the window popup higher. Is this possible? In my previous install, I think the window would usually remember where it last was, but now it seems to always popup in the same location. I'm not sure if this is slackware, firefox or wmii issue. Also I tried another wm, Awesomewm, and it showed up in the same spot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have moved from a Windows based SMTP server to Sendmail on Cent 5.5. We have a special application that was written to look at the "BadMail" folder on the Windows box. I am told by my developers that it is capable of monitor remote locations and they just need to know the format or extension of the badmail files.
My question is what is the default location of the badmail folder in Sendmail? This is a default install from CentOS.
Ubuntu 10.04. I want to change the startup sound and the mail alert sound (incoming mail) for Evolution Mail Client. I go to System > Preferences > Sound, and all I get are themes preset.

But recently I have been installing a lot of new games / software that have been using up that space. I however have the home directory on a separate partition. What I want to know is whether or not we can change the installation directory when using yum ? I know the other option (installing from source), but that would mean tedious handling of dependencies.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to change the location that notify OSD uses when it displays a new notification? I have some large dual monitors at work which is great, but I typically do browsing/development work on the left display and leave email and other less used things on the right display. Because notifications are displayed on the right monitor, I often miss the notifications because there are outside of my peripheral vision. I generally notice them within a minute or two because the mail icon in the panel is blue instead of black, but I would rather get the notifications as they occur.
When running 10.10 there was no panel at the top of the right monitor, so all notifications showed up on my left monitor. Since I upgraded to 11.04, Unity seems to display a panel on both monitors and thus, all notifications wind up on the right monitor. I would like them to appear on the left monitor instead.
See attached screenshot for more info. Sorry it's not the best quality -- but the idea is that I ran notify-send "test" in the terminal and you can see the bubble on the right monitor instead of the left one.
So...can the location of the notify OSD be controlled somewhere?
