Re: [arch-general] "You have mail" message at login

Any idea what's causing it to show up?

Well, you could always try brute force method. Login and run this as root: strace -vft -p $TARGET_GETTY_PID -o /tmp/strace-getty Now login in straced terminal, logout and grep for "New mail" in /tmp/strace-getty. You will get (among other things) pid of process which wrote "new mail" on screen. You can easily find (with grep) parent process. I believe you know what to do from here ;). -- Krzysztof Warzecha
