Notifications by e-mail

[Lonny Selinger]

Well technically your system will sotre it where ever you spool to (/var/spool
/var/mail/spool /spool ... I've seen it all over although /var/ is the most common
...  so something like /var/spool/mail or if you use postfix ;)  /var/spool/postfix)

Somewhere in there
