    For some unknown reason, sendmail has started putting mail into /home/usr/Mail/mbox
    files, rather than /var/spool/mail/usr files.

    Although I've set up a cron job to move the files regularly so that our user POP
    clients can access them, I'd prefer a real solution - like knowing what's changed.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    We were doing some fooling around with procmail to allow spamassassin to work, but
    that (as far as I know) has all been disabled.
