Thanks, I will think about this. I'm starting to think I need to have a 
Fedora 8 server.

Meanwhile, I did an 'ls /var/spool' and got the following output. Look 
at the monster 20,660,224 size given for the mqueue directory below! 
Does this mean I have a massively sized mail queue? I can cd inside it 
but I cannot list the directory. What could be happening here, is there 
any way to fix this problem? Perhaps it got corrupted at some time in 
the past?
