No mail could be sent or received. (Don' laugh to hard) Anyway to remedy the problem I moved everything from /var to /usr/var and did the whole ln- s thing too. Now everyone can send just fine but not receive. This is the error I get: -ERR [SYS/TEMP] maillock error 'Other lock error' (5) on '/var/mail/usermailbox': No such file or directory (2) What is that and how do I fix it? I assume when the problem occurred, a lock file of somesort was created to stop mail. Maybe? Also I am running FreeBSD 4.3 with sendmail and qpopper.
