well, now that I have moved to dovecot, I'm not getting any spam... in fact, I'm not getting e-mail at all.
default_mail_env =mbox:~/IMap2/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
when I first tried to access my inbox, I was told I had permission problems:
Aug 14 17:47:22 harvee imap(esj): open(/var/spool/mail/esj.lock) failed: Permission denied Aug 14 17:47:22 harvee imap(esj): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/spool/mail/esj: Permission denied
so I changed permissions on /var/spool/mail to 777 as a temporary work around. no luck. It tells me that I have no e-mail in my inbox... fat chance
[root@harvee mail]# ls -l /var/spool/mail/esj -rw------- 1 esj mail 167772 Aug 14 18:05 /var/spool/mail/esj
what simply obvious thing I am I missing now?
