System=AT&T 3B2/310 Issue =SVR3.2 Compiler Issue= 4.2 smail=2.5 patchlevel= 00 I am having the following trouble regarding smail/mail. When a user tries to use 'mail' and delete a letter after reading it, they get the following message: lmail: Cannot open savefile When trying to delete 1 letter without reading the rest of the mail using the 'mailx' command, you receive the following: /usr/mail/:saved/username: No such file of directory If someone has the patches that will cure this, I would appreciate it if you could pass them on to me. Thank-you for your time and assistance; Eric -- To Hell With The Computer, ...pacbell!sactoh0!ejnihill Where Are The Women!?!?! Flick Lives

>I am having the following trouble regarding smail/mail.
Neither of the problems you mention have anything whatsoever to do with
"smail". Both the S5R3.1 (and, presumably, the S5R3.2) "mail" and
"mailx" seem to expect there to be a directory "/usr/mail/:saved"; make
sure that directory exists and, if it doesn't exist, create it (it
probably should have the same ownership and modes as "/usr/mail", but I
don't know for sure).
