Hi, I have a linux box with RedHat 5.2 and 2.0.36 kernel. Everyone has a /var/spool/mail/root file, but this is mine: ---------------------------------------------------------------- >From MAILER-DAEMON Tue Feb 23 12:30:38 1999 Date: Tue, 23 Feb 1999 12:30:38 +0200 (EET) From: Mail System Internal Data <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA X-IMAP: 0919510334 0000000011 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------- OK, I agree with that, but if it isn't a real message, why it keep annoying me with "You have mail." every time I log on (and not only then)? If I <touch> this file, this message disappear, but appear again with the first e-mail incomed. How can I solve that, and if I can't, how can disable this message? Thanks. -- Catalin Bucur \|/ Hardware engineer ^(o o)^ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~oOO~~(_)~~OOo~~~~~~~~~
