## NAME

mboxpath - ZMailer utility to show user's mailbox path

## SYNOPSIS

mboxpath [ -D[D] ] [ -P[P] ] [ -X[X] ] [ -d dirpath ] username

## DESCRIPTION

mboxpath is a ZMailer utility program to be used when local user directories have been scattered around, and it is desired to have user's shell environment variable MAIL be set to where ever his/her UNIX mailbox file is.

This does only manage scattering under common -d dirpath directory prefix, but usually that is sufficient.

## OPTIONS

-d dirpath -D[D] -P[P] -X[X] |  | See mailbox(8). See mailbox(8). See mailbox(8). See mailbox(8). |

## USAGE

This is intended for system-wide startup script usage with code something like following for sh:

## MAIL=`mboxpath -P $USER`

It is important to use SAME options here as are used at running the mailbox program.

## ENVIRONMENT

The default location for user mailbox files depends per system, but one of them is: /var/mail. This may be modi- fied by setting the variable MAILBOX in /etc/zmailer.conf to the directory containing user mailbox files, for exam- ple /usr/spool/mail. This is best done in the ZMailer SiteConfig file.

This program outputs the likely mailbox location to the stdout, it does not go and see if there is anything.

## FILES

/etc/zmailer.conf
/var/mail (MAILBOX)

## SEE ALSO
