in thread accessing mailbox files

I just want to point out that depending on your MTA mail can be delivered to a maildir format box instead of mbox format, in which case you would have multiple messages each in their own file inside of one directory.

of course you could also have your mail delivered to the moon dependant on your MTA :P

    tedrek,
    I will not to pretend to be an expert at Sendmail, but that is the MTA referenced in previous threads. It has been my experience on every *nix box I have been on that it is a single mbox file. I also admit that Sendmail has been around forever and could probably be configured to cook dinner if you wanted to - so point taken. It doesn't change the fact that this isn't the "out of the box" configuration for Sendmail, so it caught myself (as well as others) off guard.

    Cheers - L~R
