[sclug] Need help! I had a power cut!!

[Scott Rixon]

It thought the 'Suspicious rcfile' was procmailrc? Which I have deleted!

Can I recreate /mail/scott ? What should the permisions be? It looks 
like it doesn't like the one I have?

I don't have a /home/scott/.forward

I also found a few postings... Doesn't look good :-(
