Well. /dev/null was just a figure, its basically just dissapearing, not neccesarily /dev/null. :)It was happening with two user accounts. One was mine, which I just deleted because I wasn't using it.

If I send this user an email from the mail server, it makes it (with the same error). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
