-rw-------   1 mike     home            0 May 19 15:10
/home/spool/mail/mike
[admin admin]$ ls -al /home/spool/mail/admin
-rw-------   1 admin    home            0 Jun 10 22:22
/home/spool/mail/admin
[admin admin]$

/var/spool/mail/mike ->
/home/sites/home/../../spool/mail/mike
[admin footie2]$ ls -al /var/spool/mail/admin
lrwxrwxrwx   1 admin    home           39 Apr 23 21:09
/var/spool/mail/admin ->
/home/sites/home/../../spool/mail/admin
[admin footie2]$
