Can't POP the mails off the server, the mailbox is corrupt!
First, please forgive me for my 2nd attempt to post in a Forum! And btw, the Code Tags tutorial has the fonts and the sizes, but when I am editing my post none of those fonts and sizes are not there!
Eudora gave error info, There has been an error transferring your mail.
and then the POP server [nancy@worf.yyy.com]
said: ERR Mail drop does not start with a From envelope line.
So I did this so I can open the mailboxes:
:
So I checked the mailboxes. Code:
# mutt -f elena and I get into her mailbox
mutt came up and it's fine. Code:
# mutt -f nancy and it says nancy is not a mailbox. So the Server is ok, it's My mailbox is corrupt,
it had to be a bad email in my mailbox,
so Mutt can't get into my mailbox.
So I tried to get in with vi [ # cd vi /usr/nancy/ ] it said “nancy” does not exist. I really want to get into my mailbox file but I haven't been able to find a way!
Meanwhile, my corrupt mailbox is receiving more and more emails in my “mailbox”!
If I can get in this file I could delete the bad emails and maybe that would fix it. Or what would happen if I deleted the whole file?
And how can I delete a mailbox when “nancy” is not a mailbox and “nancy” does not exist.? [CODE] Does anybody out there have a way to get around this thing? Since it has been two months March & April
so far I need to get those emails POPed off the the server and to my inbox on Eudora, so I don't loose them. How can you get into a file when it doesn't have a valid file name?

In sendmail.cf in bi01, the DS Smart Relay Host ip address is:
