mbox ascii mail text file ?
Hi,
I am using "fetchmail" and "procmail" combination to trigger a job based on an input mail.Using fetchmail, incoming mail is downloaded from the mailserver to the local host.Once the mail is flushed,procmail starts execution and thereby triggers the application script.
In-between this process,a file under the name "mbox" is created in the home directory.file type is "ASCII mail text".This file has all the mails listed received by the account.
Can anybody say which program configuration is responsible for this?
Is it fetchmail or procmail or the mail program configuration files.
Regards
Dileep
