Installed it, but it doesn't change anything?

I don't get that either.
I forgot to mention we use NFS/NIS, the server runs potato (kernel
2.2.13) and my woody box runs kernel 2.4.18.
The only way to get hold of this mail is by copying this file into my
home-dir and flush using something like
'dd if=/dev/null of=/var/mail/kotte bs=1 count=0'
