Hi,
Just wanted to let everybody know that this was fixed by moving the mailboxes
to /var/mail and making /var/spool/mail a symlink that points to it. I wonder
why the upgrade script didn't do it automatically.
Apparently Mail and Ipop3d have been upgraded to use /var/mail already but
Exim and Pine (obviously, since I've built it myself) still use
/var/spool/mail.
