Help

Hi, I am having problems with mailing on FreeBSD 2.0. I
can send mail to the root, however I can't send mail to a user. It recognizes
my mail folder directory...although it can't seem to create my mail
folder.

I do get mail returned to root telling me that I can't use metamail
from root and that if I do I should use the -r option.
