Hi I am having problems with mail (using FreeBSD 2.0). I am able to receive mail as root, however I can't seem to receive mail as a user. It sends the mail fine, however it seems that it can't create and write to the users mail folder. The result of trying to send mail to a user is a message back to root reporting that there are problems executing the metamail program. It tells me that if I am going to execute metamail from root I need a -r option ?????? Help, please Thanks Alan Langman
