Hello,

I have a linux mail server whose mail is actually stored on an linux NFS
server (in /var/spool/mail).

Whenver I send/receive mail from outlook express, a new file gets created
in /var/spool/mail of the NFS server with the word BOGUS preceding the
user name. Eg, for a login name of "tgogoi", I would see BOGUS.tgogoi.gE3B
in /var/spool/mail of the NFS server. How do I correct this problem ?

Thanks,
Tony
