Then maybe my .procmailrc is wrong :-( Currently it's: :0fw: spamassassin.lock | spamc :0fw | /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -u username Each time the mail gets inserted into the database, the users' mailbox in /var/spool/mail/username gets increased by 1 byte in size - this in fact is just a new line added to the end of the mailbox for each mail delivered, which in turn leads to a mangled mailbox. Is there a way round this? Matt PS: sorry slightly OT...
