- pam_mail — Inform about available mail
- ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- DESCRIPTION
- The pam_mail PAM module provides the "you have new mail" service to the user.
- It can be plugged into any application that has credential or session hooks. 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
