Hello.
  I don't know how often this error comes up, but it seems that there's quite a
new messages about it, and no real solution.  Anyway, We are getting the error
"another user is reading mail /usr/spool/<username>."  We are running in.pop3d. 
It is only this user, and we deleted him and recreated him and still got the
same message.  His mail file has the right permissions (user:<username>,
group:mail).  Any help would be apprecieated.
                               -Greg
