Re: Help! Fetchmail broke



Hi!

] I checked /var/spool/mail and all folders are either root/mail or srgore/mail
] with rwx rw  rw.

The last rw allows any user to read and write to the files (mailboxes),
what makes it a horrible security hole. Quickly run 
chmod 1770 /var/spool/mail/*
to get things back to normal.
