Re: 2 more questions: (A) ~/Mailboxes/Qmailbox ?; (B) What is an "end-of-file" command?

| I tried the following variations on the content [[of .qmail]]
| (following the man page example):
|
| 1 - /Mailboxes/Qmailbox
| 2 - /Users/reichman/Mailboxes/Qmailbox
| 3 - ~/Mailboxes/Qmailbox
|
| The permissions/ownership:
|
| -rw-r--r-- 1 reichman wheel 19 Aug 23 01:17 .qmail
|
| When I tried your suggestion:
|
| Mailboxes/Qmailbox
|
| I got the following error message:
| ============
| [...]
| Aug 23 01:02:44 midnight qmail: delivery 16: deferral:
| Unable_to_open_/Mailboxes/Qmailbox._(#4.2.1)/
| ==============
According to the man page, an mbox line should begin with a slash or dot.
Though it does not say so, I presume a leading dot means the file name is
interpreted relative to the home directory. So try
./Mailboxes/Qmailbox
instead.
