Re: UNIX mail defaults

I guess what I meant was, can you set this value in
Sendmail and if so where.  

What happened is, a user asked me when e-mail gets
deleted.  I inherited the system (or the sendmail.cf,
anyway) so I hesitate to say "No, we don't delete mail
here."  'cause he's probably asking due to some lost
mail.
