I did see your reply. But I'm using news.gname.org.

I guess it might came from postfix or squirrelmail or php-imap module came
with mandrake. I can't remember what I did with this box as I'm trying to
throw things together and make it work.

Since I only have root on this box, I did exactly want you suggested above.
I'm using the latest RPM for 9.1 from your site. The install seems to be
smooth. Thanks. May I ask how can I recreate a root mailbox so mail can be
delivered for root?

Thanks and Regards,
