Hi!
I'm running Linux as a POP server for a group of people. Basically,
fetchmail gets the mail from another server and procmail sorts it into
their mailboxes. They log in to the Linux box OK and get their mail. BUT:
Sometimes, they seem to download the first message that get created
automatically with the mailbox file. You know, this one:
>-------SNIP-------<
>From MAILER-DAEMON Wed Mar 10 13:38:52 1999
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 1999 13:38:52 -0500 (EST)
From: Mail System Internal Data <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
X-IMAP: 0921091112 0000000001
Status: RO
This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a
real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If
deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.
>-------SNIP-------<
That is quite confusing to the users and me and I'm afraid it might mess
up the mailbox, too. Actually, I'm not sure whether it happens to anyone
but root. Does that make sense?
TIA,
Juergen
