It can be plugged into any application that has credential or session hooks. It gives a single message indicating the +\fInewness\fR +of any mail it finds in the user's mail folder. This module also sets the PAM environment variable, +\fBMAIL\fR, to the user's mail directory. +.PP +If the mail spool file (be it +\fI/var/mail/$USER\fR +or a pathname given with the +\fBdir=\fR +parameter) is a directory then pam_mail assumes it is in the +\fIMaildir\fR +format. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +.TP 3n +\fBclose\fR +Indicate if the user has any mail also on logout. +.TP 3n +\fBdebug\fR +Print debug information. +.TP 3n +\fBdir=\fR\fB\fImaildir\fR\fR +Look for the users' mail in an alternative location defined by +\fImaildir/<login>\fR.
