It -gives a single message indicating the newness of any mail it finds in the -user's mail folder. This module also sets the PAM environment variable, MAIL, -to the user's mail directory. - -If the mail spool file (be it /var/mail/$USER or a pathname given with the dir= -parameter) is a directory then pam_mail assumes it is in the Maildir format. - -OPTIONS - -close - - Indicate if the user has any mail also on logout. - -debug - - Print debug information. - -dir=maildir - - Look for the user's mail in an alternative location defined by maildir/ - <login>. The default location for mail is /var/mail/<login>. Note, if the - supplied maildir is prefixed by a '~', the directory is interpreted as - indicating a file in the user's home directory. - -empty - - Also print message if user has no mail. - -hash=count - - Mail directory hash depth. For example, a hashcount of 2 would make the - mail file be /var/spool/mail/u/s/user. - -noenv - - Do not set the MAIL environment variable. - -nopen - - Don't print any mail information on login. This flag is useful to get the - MAIL environment variable set, but to not display any information about it. - -quiet - - Only report when there is new mail. - -standard - - Old style "You have..." format which doesn't show the mail spool being - used. This also implies "empty". - -EXAMPLES - -Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to indicate that the user has new -mail when they login to the system. - -session optional pam_mail.so standard - - -AUTHOR - -pam_mail was written by Andrew G. Morgan <morgan@kernel.org>. - |
