I am having problems getting a users default mailbox
changed.  His system mailbox is located on the
/var/spool/mail directory and due to the amount of mail
he is getting, he would rather have it located on another 
partition.  I tried to set the MAIL variable in his .mailrc
file and that works okay for reading mail but sendmail still
insists on putting received mail in /var/spool/mail/username.
I have been looking through the sendmail documentation to look
for an obvious way to change this but have not had any luck.

Anyone with any ideas out there??
