Re: [cobalt-users] Need Sendmail Help on RaQ3i

[Jeff Bilicki <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could try and do the following, but I haven't tried and 
it could mess your system up more.  

mv /var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail-old
ln -s /home/spool/mail/ /var/spool/mail

I think this wierd symlink thing was done for when you add
storage (additional disks).
