mail_home = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u I have also tried
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u When I try to send an email instead of use /var/spool/mail it try to use (and fail) the /root/Maildir! Where is my conf wrong?Why don't use the /var/spool/mail as I configure? I have tried without selinux but same thing.. Distro is latest centos 7
