ls -l /var/spool/mail
will show that that your /var/spool/mail folder probably has
"rwxrwx---" permissions or something... not what pop3d wants you to
have it set at.
chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail
will fix your problem
but you'll probably have the same problem crop up next time you use
linuxconf... to fix it permanently you need to:
vim /usr/lib/linuxconf/redhat/perm/mail
(substitute vim for your favourite editor)
and change the line with /var/spool/mail to be 1777
that way linuxconf will know what the permissions should be set to
and will stop trying to change it back to the incorrect settings
every time you run it...
good luck! - dan.
