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/ + . The default location for mail is /var/mail/. 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.
