SolutionSend an email to the user using elm or something and it will be created.
Alternatively the user may cause its creation by openning a mail client such as elm or mail.

Re: /var/mail/<user id >related mail box
1. When we add user it does not get created automatically, Is that right ?
The situation I saw was as follows :
ther was no /var/mail/user1
when I tried to send the mail to that user, and did mailx, the system responded that there was no mail.
I used elm and it prompted me if it can create an Mail account and I responded yes.
At that time, I donot remember it created that mail box under /var/mail
But when the sendmail daemon was bounced, I saw that the mail box got created under the /var/mail/user1
The reason it might have created me somr problems was because the Oracle Apps was using Javamail via the user1 account to send mails to the other users.
Any thoughts / comments ?
thanks

Re: /var/mail/<user id >related mail box
You should check /var/log/maillog when you send a message to the user. You should get Stat=sent.
Also, /var/mail is a hard link to /var/spool/mail, something that i did not know until today.

Re: /var/mail/<user id >related mail box
Other Unix implementations have /var/adm. Verify the configuration of /etc/syslog.conf to know where the log files are located.

Re: /var/mail/<user id >related mail box
It should be

Of
/var/adm/syslog.log
I can't remember.
