The message is not because of the pop3 server installed. It is
a message from pine, which looks for this vulnerability during
execution. The permissions for the dir is:

drwxrwxrwt   2 root     mail         4096 Dec  7 23:06 mail

To get this as root do : chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail

To know the total size of hard disk inclusive of Non-Linux and
non-formatted partitions, as root do:

     #echo p | fdisk /dev/hdX 2> /dev/null 
     (where X is a, b, c etc)
OR   #fdisk -l (this will list all drives together)
