Why???? Sorry I am replying to my own mail again. A gentleman sorted out my problem by pointing out that I should try `ls -1` which worked but I have another issue.=20 I was to use this to re-inject the mails into sendmail to send out. I have over 2000 users and they have enough mail. I actually tried this thing out and sendmail hiccuped - too many files open. I am moving the users from a Linux box running Sendmail as MTA to a FreeBSD box running Exim as MTA. Is there a good way of handling this???
