Hi Folks,

:) Alright, I messed up bigtime trying to setup fetchmail+procmail+mutt - 
just for kicks and since I like mutt.

I deleted the /var/mail/carthik (my username is carthik) file by mistake. If 
I were to create the file again, what should the permissions be, and who 
should be owner of that file?

Thanks, and would anyone know what the default smtp (mda?) in ubuntu is? I 
suspect it is postfix, but fear I am wrong.

Does anyone have a link to a postfix + fetchmail + procmail + mutt + gnupg + 
spamassassin story or webpage to share?

Thank you,
Carthik.
