I haven't been able to read my mail of my usual account for almost a
month now. I read it by forwarding to another account. BTW, this sin't a
VSNL thing. I couldn't have rebooted the server or restarted popd if it
had been so. ;->

Netscape keeps complaining saying the spool file is already being read.
The server has even gone for a reboot and I can't find a lockfile
either. Any idea what I could do to remove this problem?
