The entries located in the file /usr/lib/mh/mtstailor

The following list describes the /usr/lib/mh/mtstailor

system. If this entry is not defined, MH
queries the system for the default value.
systemname: Specifies the host name of the local
system in the uucp domain. If this entry
is not defined, MH queries the system for
the default value.
mmdfldir: Specifies the location of mail drops. If
this entry is present and empty, mail
drops are located in the user's $HOME
directory. If this entry does not exist,
mail drops are located in the /usr/mail
