No, this is standard MDA stuff with sendmail/procmail systems - I have seen it many times on poorly done restore-from-backup situations when permissions are out of sync. If the destination mailbox is not owned by the user that the mail is for, the old one is renamed to BOGUS.$user.$random, and a new one is created. This is a side effect of his changing the permissions on the mail boxes to mail:mail, which is clearly wrong. He may want his mailboxes renamed, he may want clam to scan his mail, but what he has achieved is neither - he has achieved an error recovery moment in his MDA. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | He hath eaten me out of house and home. | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- William Shakespeare, "Henry IV" | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
