Hmm, this doesn't seem to be solving the problem yet. As root, I made a directory /root/Varmail for the file /root/Varmail/varmail:
Code:
>ls -ltd /root/Varmail
drwxrw---- 2 root mail 512 Jan 9 12:22 /root/Varmail
And the file inside it is called "varmail":
Code:
ls -tld /root/Varmail/varmail
-rwxrw---- 1 root mail 45164271 Jan 6 10:25 /root/Varmail/varmail
There is then a symbolic link from /var/mail for this file:
Code:
ls -ltd /var/mail/root
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 21 Jan 9 12:23 /var/mail/root -> /root/Varmail/varmail
But I still get the savemail panics in my daily logs. I see that the last entry in /root/Varmail/varmail dates from December 19, which was after I had moved the mail file.
