	I guess it is about following -- I added some tests to make
	sure nobody gets away from not defining the  --prefix:

[mea@mea zmailer-2.99.45]$ ./configure 
creating cache ./config.cache
!!!
!!! You did not define  --prefix -parameter !!!
!!!
!!! Define the  --prefix -parameter to tell subtree,
!!! where the ZMailer system is to be installed.
!!!

Hmm, an omission...  Perhaps:

[mea@mea zmailer-2.99.45]$ ZCONFIG=/opt/mail/zmailer.conf ./configure --prefix=/opt/mail
loading cache ./config.cache
***
*** You can set  ZCONFIG  environment variable to define
*** the location of the (default) /etc/zmailer.conf -file
*** (You can use also   --with-zconfig=  -parameter)
***
*** You can set CC, and CFLAGS  environment variables to
*** choose the C-compiler, and its options, especially at
*** systems where there are multiple choices to use...
***

Using ZMailer parametrization file path: /opt/mail/zmailer.conf
Using ZMailer POSTOFFICE path: /var/spool/postoffice
Using ZMailer MAILBOX directory path: /var/mail
Using ZMailer MAILSHARE directory path: /opt/mail
Using ZMailer MAILVAR directory path: /opt/mail
Using ZMailer MAILBIN directory path: /opt/mail/bin
Using ZMailer LOGDIR directory path: /var/log/mail
...


The actual trick is following fragment of script added into  configure.in:

    for DEFMAILBOX in /var/mail /var/spool/mail /usr/mail /usr/spool/mail
    do
	if test -d $DEFMAILBOX ; then
	    break
	fi
    done
    MAILBOX=${MAILBOX-$DEFMAILBOX}
