I've been following this thread and noticed that I have a funny problem relating to receiving root's mail. I set this up on install, but somehow never got around to seeing root's mail till I read the thread. I now noticed that I received root's mail in /var/spool/mail/"my user name". In that file are included 19 messages mostly to root, but also 6 messages to my regular e-mail address! This address is a pop account from which I download (using mozilla) via my local ISP. The pop server is in the US and I am in India. How could these six messages wind up in /var/spool/mail/my user ? Ordinarily my mail goes directly into my inbox in mozilla (folders which are in /home/myuser/.mozilla/~ . I am using Suse pro 9.1 with the packages from the CD's and some YOU updates. I have not otherwise changed any other packages. This is really odd. Any ideas? Thanks, Gus.
