If your system manager has configured PMDF user profile database options, then you can select among those options for delivering your mail. Note that your system manager may have selected a delivery option for you or a default delivery option for all users on your system, so you may even have a user profile option set without realizing it.

To see what options, if any, your system manager has configured for your site, issue the command

% pmdf profile show method -all

If your system manager has configured any options, they will be listed in the output. For instance, if your system manager has configured two options, regular BSD mailbox delivery and delivery to a MailWorks mailbox, you might see output such as:

% pmdf profile show method -all Method BSD is defined as: /var/spool/mail/%s Method DMW is defined as: |/usr/bin/inetgrecv %s

To see what your own delivery method is set to, if it is set at all, issue the command

% pmdf profile show delivery

To set your delivery method, issue the command

% pmdf profile set delivery method-name

where method-name is the name of a method defined by the system manager, listed in the output of a pmdf profile show method -all command. For instance,

% pmdf profile profile> show method -all Method BSD is defined as: /var/spool/mail/%s Method DMW is defined as: |/usr/bin/inetgrecv %s profile> set delivery DMW profile> exit

See Section 6.2 for additional discussion of using the pmdf profile utility.
