No, not really. My recommendation would be to install mutt, run it for that user, then press and hold the 'd' key (for delete). Then, after you're done deleting, set up an alias in /etc/aliases to forward all such mail to a real person (or, at least, to a central mail server). Don't forget to run 'newaliases' afterwards. -TIlghman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
