You need to delete the file before the user can access their mail spool via POP3. The pop3d should have come with a script (rm_stale.sh) which would typically be run from cron to delete such files. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@sensei.co.uk> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
