Many thanks Allen - it seems new mail is arriving as expected - but the mail that was collected during my initial attempts ( which looks like a shed load ) is still apparently in an inaccessible directory - any thoughts welcome
First find out how your system processes emails. It sounds as if you have the following chain: fetchmail -> postfix -> amavis -> postfix -> local delivery Now, this local delivery can happen in several ways. Either the mails are stored in /var/spool/mail/username, home/username/mail or a pop/imap server is receiving them for storage/retrieval. If you are using postfix, it should log to /var/log/mail where you can see where postfix finally delivers the mail. Sandy -- List replies only please!
