Rebuild the user mailbox in Linux Using SSH

Article Title: rebuild the user mailbox in Linux Using SSH. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The Postal Code mentioned here is after you log on to the server through ssh. The system prompts you to have mail. This is the thing.

When I use logwatch to view logs today, the system prompts that my user's mail quota is too large. 83 MB already exists.

After logging on, check that there are already more than 800 emails. Because I used cron to set a scheduled task. Therefore, you will receive nnnn packets every day. And I never view or delete it, which leads to a larger size.

Prepare to delete the email normally. If the email is damaged, the email cannot be deleted. It can only be killed.

# Cd/var/mail

# Rm syxin (this is the email file named after my Users)

# Touch syxin (deletion will definitely fail, so you need to touch one)

# Chown syxin. mail syxin (give the correct permission)

Then enter mailx. The message "nomail" is displayed. Everything is normal.
