I have changed the alias file to mail:  /dev/null
See what that does. Thanks Ed

        If you run a mail server, you should know how to set it up. Most  
servers that I have seen have an 'aliases' file that allows you to do  
things such as route all email addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to  
an individual within your company. Likewise, since I know that 'mail'  
is not a legal recipient for incoming email, I can add the line:

mail: /dev/null

to the aliases file to send all email addressed to mail to the bit  
bucket. There are at least 3 other ways I know of to accomplish the  
same thing; they offer more control, but also require a bit more  
knowledge to do correctly. But if you don't want spam coming in to  
that account, this will take care of that for you.
