When I go into rmail it says I have no mail even when there is mail. What am I 
doing wrong? TIA?

I am having a problem with rmail in a Sun NFS environment.
It seems that the data files in the sendmail mqueue directory
are not being deleted after a message is sent using rmail.
I am not familiar with rmail (one of my users is) so bear with me.
Here is the situation:
A user composes a message using rmail amd sends it. After
exiting emacs the 'df' file in sendmail's mqueue directory is
not deleted. It still has the text of the message in it. The other
files 'lf' 'qf' etc. are also still present in the mqueue
directory but theyu have a length of 0. The mqueue directory is
NFS mounted from a server.
Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated.
