Hello, Sorry, I meant to mention that before. If I do a ls -l on the file it has a filesize of 0. If edited with vi, it also shows no data in the file.
Very strange... for most users it does not appear to cause a problem. It was just that for the users that had corrupted mail spools they had all had this as the last successful session. I have since had corruptions without this log entry. Still, a strange entry.

Hi Brian, I havn't seen this problem before, but did you look at one of these spool files with 35 bytes still in it to see what was there ? That may provide a clue as to the problem...
