Yup. This happened here last week when another admin (fully aware of this
problem) did an upgrade to RH 5.2) . I only found out about it after four
days) because I got a "You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root" message
from the shell while doing some maintenance (by pure coincidence, / had
started filling up).
As a sort of preventive countermeasure, /var/spool/mail is now a
zero-sized file without read/write/execute permissions for anybody.
