This message is telling me iam sending the message to myself, which iam not.

I am using smail and pine and havnt had problems (i hope) until recently.

The only thing that could be the problem (?) is that i have a softlink 
from my mailbox in /var/spool to my home directory (because my / is full)


ANY help MUCH appreciated

PS i tried purging and reinstalling pine/smail/mailx to no avail:(
