[Indimail-support] Need to change default mailbox directory

[shs unix]

Hi,

I would like to change the default path where my mails are getting stored to an attached volume on the physical server. Please let me know where to change this configuration.

Thank you

For local unix users in /etc/passwd, mail is delivered to ~/Maildir
(Maildir in user's home directory). e.g if your control/locals
contains example.com, then an email to shs...@example.com will get
delivered to /home/shsunix/Maildir

For virtual domains listed in control/virtualdomains, it depends on
.qmail-default in the virtual domain home directory. e.g. if
example.com is in control/virtualdomains, then delivery instructions
depends on .qmail-default in /var/indimail/domains/example.com

You should do man dot-qmail to understand this. e.g. type the
following at your unix shell prompt

$ man dot-qmail

How is the domain configured on your host and who is the
recipient@domain. It all depends on whether your recipient is a local
user or a user configured for a virtual domain (in MySQL), added by
using vadduser command

1. Is your domain listed in control/locals? If that is the case, you
should read the man page for qmail-users. i.e. execute the following
command in your unix shell prompt.

$ man qmail-users

or

2. Is it listed in control/virtualdomains?

You should understand address assignments (man qmail-users). If you
build a new assignment, you should edit users/assign and then run
qmail-newu command. In most cases you will not need to do this. If you
understand .qmail files, you should be able to deliver emails to an
email address to a directory of your choice. man dot-qmail will be
your best friend here.

If you could give some example of what you are trying to achieve, I
will be able to provide more help
