    thanks for this I was getting VERY annoyed because I couldn’t even delete a mail hah…The linux book I was reading provided instructions that simply do not work.

    Thanks from me, too. I had arpwatch running and had about 10,000 messages! Don’t run arpwatch on a big network unless you like emails!
