Yeah. I'd tried commenting out mail_spool_directory =
/var/spool/mail & adding below it /home/meph/mail, but that isn't
doing it. I'll take that out & uncomment home_mailbox = Maildir/
-- replacing Maildir/ with /home/meph/mail.
I'll let you know.

sendmail's impossible to close up) that I'd found tons of data
in the included docs too.
