I haven't tested it on any debian version yet...

It would help if you could compile in debug mode, with symbols present in the compiled executable, but it seems to come from these lines:

Line 238 in msgmsg.c:
  Delete(config.netPath, "*."MBEXTB);
  if (*config.pmailPath)
    Delete(config.pmailPath, "*."MBEXTB);

Could it be you haven't set the netmail path directory for instance?


Bye, Wilfred.
