How does the pop server lock the mailbox. I know/think some create a file and if /var/mail isn't writabel, that's going to fail. Try using ktrace on the pop daemon/inetd or whatever launches it. That should show you what's failing. Colin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
