Hi

when I checked in mailog (/var/log/maillog), it give me one error:

Jun  8 12:43:17 pluto MailScanner[98992]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.31.6 starting...
Jun  8 12:43:17 pluto MailScanner[98992]: User's home directory /var/mail/mail does not exist
Jun  8 12:43:17 pluto MailScanner[98992]: Using locktype = posix
Jun  8 12:43:17 pluto MailScanner[98992]: Creating hardcoded struct_flock subroutine for freebsd (BSD-type)

What is "MailScanner[98992]: User's home directory /var/mail/mail does not exist" used for ?

I could not create dir in /var/mail/mail

bash-2.05b# ls -la  /var/mail/
-rw-------   1 ftp        ftp          0 Apr 19 01:27 ftp
-rw-------   1 mail       mail         0 Apr 19 01:27 mail
-rw-------   1 majordomo  daemon       0 Apr 19 01:27 majordomo

bash-2.05b# mkdir /var/mail/mail/
mkdir: /var/mail: Not a directory

any clue?

cheers

Shahid
