Dear debian-user,
After running elm (version elm-me+_2.4pl25ME+65-0.slink.0) for the
first time yesterday it created the following file in my home directory:
drwx--S--- myusername myusername 1024 Aug 19 18:29 Mail/
which is supposed to be for incoming mail. Please note the capital S.

The reason for this was probably the following entry in my
~/.fetchmailrc:
mda "/usr/bin/elm"
fetchmail --version gave me the following explanation:
Dear debian-users,
I ran fetchmail, it read the first incoming message, but then it stopped
and told me the following:
..exim: neither action flags nor mail addresses given.
fetchmail terminated with signal 13
My ~/.fetchmailrc looks like this:

Dear debian-users
I tried to send a test message to my friend who has an e-mail account

You can download "man-db", "manpages" and "manpages-dev"(as well as any
other package) via ftp (e.g. ftp://ftp.xy.debian.org - for "xy" insert
a country-code). You find these files in the

The best thing is to create a directory tree like the one on the ftp-

Dear debian-users,
In spite of the sysklogd scripts in /etc/cron.daily and
/etc/cron.weekly my system's log files keep growing and growing.
In fact they never have been rotated since potato's installation

I did so, but with no success :(
I think the problem is, that the CD remains in a "twilight" status:
neither mounted nor unmounted.
Thank you very much anyway.
