>>>I have a dec box running OSF1 V4.0 878 alpha.
>>>Sendmail version Sendmail 5.65v4.0 (1.1.19.2/19Aug98-0907PM) Wed, 7 Oct
>>>1998 10:48:04 -0400,
>>>and pop version QPOP (version 2.53). Our students use eudora light as
>>>there mail client.
>>>We are also using a quota setup on /var/spool/mail/$USERNAME to restrict
>>>disk space to aprox 50mb per user. The Problem I am having is that some
>>>mail is being put into /tmp for some reason.
>>>
>>>the normal format of the /var/spool/mail/ directory is as follows
>>>-rw------- 1 user1 mail 0 Oct 6 18:53 .user1.pop
>>>-rw------- 1 user2 mail 0 Sep 28 08:39 user2
>>>-rw------- 1 user3 mail 61854 Oct 1 16:33 user3
>>>-rw------- 1 user4 mail 232135 Sep 28 16:55 user4

>Qpopper by default puts those lock files in /tmp. You need to change this
