NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

pam_mail \u2212 Inform about available mail<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

pam_mail.so<\/b> [close] [debug] [dir=maildir<\/i>] [empty] [hash=count<\/i>] [noenv] [nopen] [quiet] [standard]<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

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<\/i> of any mail it finds in the user’s mail folder. This module also sets the PAM environment variable, MAIL<\/b>, to the user’s mail directory.<\/p>\n

If the mail spool file (be it \/var\/mail\/$USER or a pathname given with the dir=<\/b> parameter) is a directory then pam_mail assumes it is in the Maildir<\/i> format.<\/p>\n

OPTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

close<\/b><\/p>\n

Indicate if the user has any mail also on logout.<\/p>\n

debug<\/b><\/p>\n

Print debug information.<\/p>\n

dir=<\/b>maildir<\/i><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

empty<\/b><\/p>\n

Also print message if user has no mail.<\/p>\n

hash=<\/b>count<\/i><\/p>\n

Mail directory hash depth. For example, a hashcount<\/i> of 2 would make the mail file be \/var\/spool\/mail\/u\/s\/user.<\/p>\n

noenv<\/b><\/p>\n

Do not set the MAIL<\/b> environment variable.<\/p>\n

nopen<\/b><\/p>\n

Don’t print any mail information on login. This flag is useful to get the MAIL<\/b> environment variable set, but to not display any information about it.<\/p>\n

quiet<\/b><\/p>\n

Only report when there is new mail.<\/p>\n

standard<\/b><\/p>\n

Old style “You have…” format which doesn’t show the mail spool being used. This also implies “empty”.<\/p>\n

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The session<\/b> and auth<\/b> (on establishment and deletion of credentials) module types are provided.<\/p>\n
