I am not sure whether it is procmail or sendmail that does the checking,
but the mailbox has to be owned by the user who is recipient, (and group
mail??), otherwise the old, "mis-owned," mailbox gets renamed "BOGUS.blah,"
and a new mailbox with proper ownership gets created.
I believe that several people posted various shell and perl scripts a few
months ago that fixed file ownership on those files.

Just recently reformatted my linux box so I could start from scratch with

the accounts details etc.
Went and installed everything and restored the backups. Now everytime some
of the users are sent a mail a BOGUS file is created for the user and all
the previous mail (not current day) is in there. The users mail for today
is in the normal mail file. For example user "davie" recieves a mail and
next thing there is a file called "BOGUS.davie.SxT" with all previous mail
inside!!
All of the users affected (26 at last count) will have a file like
"BOGUS.'username'.'random letter'xT
Any ideas?
