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\*(Aqs mail folder\&. This module also sets the PAM environment variable, +\fBMAIL\fR, to the user\*(Aqs mail directory\&. +.PP +If the mail spool file (be it +/var/mail/$USER +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 +.PP +\fBclose\fR +.RS 4 +Indicate if the user has any mail also on logout\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBdebug\fR +.RS 4 +Print debug information\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBdir=\fR\fB\fImaildir\fR\fR +.RS 4 +Look for the user\*(Aqs mail in an alternative location defined by +maildir/\&.
