Okay, I found out that 'msec' is doing this. It is run through /etc/cron.hourly automatically. I think I found a way that I can tell msec to leave the /var/spool/mail directory alone and do the rest of its work: by updating the settings in /usr/share/msec/perm.2. Just in case someone else would need something like that. Paul -- Every calendar's days are numbered. http://www.nlpagan.net - Linux Mandrake - Ximian Evolution
