/var/mail - emails disappear?
 

Hello!! Running RHEL4-AS on a server. We have fetchmail running on this server, which grabs the emails from an exchange server. If I look in /var/mail, I can view the files 'eg. # more /var/mail/username1' and I can read the test email. After a few minutes, the file disappears! Is there anyway for these files to NOT be deleted. If I don't give enough permissions, then another application doesn't have enough rights to view the email.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Appreciate all your help in advance..cheers!

turn off fetchmail; maybe it's overwriting the existing /var/spool/mail/*USER* ?
