smail used to work on my 'slink'-debian system to my full satisfaction: incoming mail was delivered into my INBOX /var/spool/mail/$USER immediately and xbiff beeped.
Now this changed (apparently after I installed a few packages from 'potato' to get licq version 0.61). Incoming mail now remains in /var/spool/smail/input for too long. I don't now how long since it doesn't seem to be the parameter supplied in the options ( -q10m ) which I changed temporarily to 1s without result. In short, I don't understand what happened and I didn't succeed to solve the problem. Anyone can help? Here some possibly relevant data: SG:~>uname -a Linux SG 2.0.34 #2 Thu Jul 9 10:57:48 EST 1998 i686 unknown SG:~>smail -V Smail-3.2.0.102 1998-Aug-2 #2 SG:~>grep ^FLA /etc/init.d/smail FLAGS="-bd -q10m" My configurations are mostly standard, just that I start the smail at boot. (I tried the other option as well) I can mail the configuration files anyhow if someone is ready to look at them. Thanks in advance, Daniel
