Hello.

I have a FreeBSD Server 8.2, the past few days I’ve noticed that the user root  was not recieving email. I ran a test simply by using:

mail root

Then in /var/log/messsages I got this message:

May  3 22:47:56 edh sendmail[74022]: q3RFM513074022: SYSERR(root): Cannot reopen ./dfq3RFM513074022: No such file or directory
May  3 22:47:56 edh sendmail[74022]: q3RFM514074022: SYSERR(root): putbody: Cannot open ./dfq3RFM513074022 for MAILER-DAEMON from root: No such file or directory

Im not using this server as a email server, but it is very important to me because I have some scripts running by cron that send the output by email to the user that is running them, in this case root.

Thanks in advance.
