Well, this is bizarre: # ls -l /var/spool/ total 20 ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 May 5 09:59 mail -> ../mail ...
# ls -l /var/ total 72 ... drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 Jul 14 18:04 mail ... What created this symlink? I didn't. I have quite a lot of messages like this in the mail log: Jul 10 09:30:39 psanchez-1 imapd[16264]: Killed (lost mailbox lock) user=psanchez host=psanchez-1 [127.0.0.1] I will get rid of the symlink and test to see if that makes the difference. I'll let you know.
