Hi, thank you for the speedy reply... original /var/spool/mail permission: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 12288 Jan 5 14:31 mail
change to: drwxr-xr-x 3 root mail 12288 Jan 5 14:31 mail That didn't help... then changed to: drwxrwxr-x 3 root mail 12288 Jan 5 14:31 mail It works now. Will I have a security issue here?
