View Full Version : Mail not delivered if user not logged in

As I have just been painfully reminded that the /home directory is a mount point for /export/home/$USERNAME, unless $USERNAME is logged in, mail will not be delivered to their Maildir.

Is there a way around this?

Found the solution.

It is required to remove /home from /etc/auto_home, reboot, and then copy /export/home/* to /home.

A symlink will not work, although it would have been nice.

Now qmail can deliver mail to any mailbox.
