Qpopper refuses to deliver the mail. Attempting to open the MBOX with pico causes a warning about 'file with long line' being issued. I have both postfix and procmail installed. I am fetching the mail from remote sites via fetchmail. I have tries removing both fetchmail and procmail and having the mail delivered directly to my server, but the problem still exists. The situation was the same when I was using sendmail as opposed to postfix. I have other files on the drive that exceed this size and they are not corrupted. Is there some setting in FBSD that I should be tweaking? This has really got me stumped. -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net Windows 3.1 The best $89 solitaire game you can buy
