[NBLUG/talk] disabling mail on account "mail"

[Steve Johnson]

Are you using sendmail?

I'm wondering if you can add a line to /etc/mail/access to deny mail for a user?

One thing I have done, just to be quick and dirty about it, was to
make a symbolic link from /var/spool/mail/username to /dev/null
