Hi netters.

I'm trying to force my sendmail (SunOS 4.1.1) to deliver incoming mail in a mailbox
that is not in /var/spool/mail but directly in ~user/system-mailbox

After creating appropriate aliases in /etc/aliases for a user, the problem is:

	How may I set the permissions on ~user/system-mailbox in order to
	allow sendmail to write there and no other user to delete or empty it?!

Thanks for any help, even partial solution are welcome.
