Hello,

I'm using postfix with a very standard (debian dist) configuration, all
mails are delivered to /var/mail/<user name> as they always do, but now
I need them to be delivered to /home/<user>/INBOX


Any idea?

Thank you in advance.

Carlos.

man pages? Did you do any work at all to try to find the answer to this?
It really isn't hard to find.

man postconf, search for home_mailbox

I guess you are using procmail to deliver the mails? Then you can set

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/mails/
(or whatever you need)

in .procmailrc.

There's home_mailbox (main.cf parameter) doing just that (or the like).

I'm using procmail, so this setting hasn't effect. I have tried editing
MAILDIR in /etc/procmailrc but I end with a maildir structure in my
home, I just want a mbox inbox

Ok, for the record:

$ cat /etc/procmailrc
DEFAULT=$HOME/inbox
