Fedora's squirrelmail rpms include cron script that maintains attachment directory. If you don't have tmpwatch utility, please don't ignore rpm notices when you install rpms. If you have tmpwatch utility, find out why /etc/cron.daily/squirrelmail.cron script is not working. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
