additional problem [was Re: setting up a real pop server at home]

[technomage]

nevermind.
I found at least this one problem....
it wasn't locking to all interfaces (damned elusive commands not listed in 
man pages).

ok, additional problem, mail thats supposed to be delivered to root gets 
stashed in nobody (in /var/spool/mail). because of this, I never see any of 
my system logs and/or reports. any way to correct this?
