Well. /dev/null was just a figure, its basically just dissapearing, not neccesarily /dev/null. :)It was happening with two user accounts. One was mine, which I just deleted because I wasn't using it. The other, this is being logged : procmail: Suspicious rcfile "/disk4/home/sunrise/randy/.procmailrc" procmail: Couldn't read "/disk4/home/sunrise/randy/.procmailrc" From root Wed Feb 9 19:58:18 2000 Subject: fads Folder: /var/mail/randy 347 This also only happens on mail from outside. If I send this user an email from the mail server, it makes it (with the same error).
