version 1.0.7

OK, so here is my weirdness. I sent mail to the server from the command line.

mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /etc/passwd

When I open /var/spool/mail/username I can see 2 messages. The "system" message at the top and the the message produced from my command line email.

If I HUP the process that runs xinet.d and re-open the users mail spool the 2nd email disappears which I wouldn't expect. Has anyone seen this before. My SMTP server could be EXIM or Sendmail. My co- admin is in the process from switching over from to EXIM. I am not sure if the SMTP server has anything to do with it or not.

I can see the contents of all the email in ~/mail which is rsynced from my old server so that seems to be working properly.

I have mail_locatiion in my config file, do I need anything else?

mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

In my list of mailboxes that are in ~/mail I see 2 folders that I'd rather not see. There .customeflags and .INBOX Anyway to hide these, as they are not needed in my opinion.

Thanks,
James
