Hi everybody,
My question was:
We bought a new disk for our alpha server running V.3.2C on it.
We wanted to move all inboxes to this new disk since it is larger, but we
are having strange problems.(sendmail 8.9.1)
What I did :
firstly, I mounted new disk as /var/spool/mail and mount older one as
something different, and copy all files to new mail spool by
cp -p (preserving all rights etc.)
since I had problems in this case, secondly , I backed up inboxes to a
tape then, restored to new spool.
The same problems continued.
Here is the error message when opening pine:
[Mailbox vulnerable - error creating
/usr/spool/mail/mirat.lock.917894503.1254.bornova.ege.edu.tr: Permission]
Thanks for everyone but especially who replied :

Solution is :
chmod 1777 /var/spool/mail
Thanks again...
