 To whom it may concern,
 
 
 I am attaching output from "df" on NetBSD 7.1 (GENERIC.201703111743Z)

 I should also point out that in /var I have a link "mail -> /mail"
 
 I hope this is enough info to get to the bottom.

 Dear Christos,
 
 I am using postfix with only virtual and main.cf as have been for a decade.
 
 The problem is without any mail activity, JUST "ls -al" shows the date
 wrong sometimes for some files in mail directory only. that means it can
 not be ls that is faulty.
 
 The content of the email file is correct "not corrupted".
 
 I used squirrelmail and microsoft outtlook and both show no problems with
 content.
 
 Only LS shows the wrong date stamp !!!!
 
 HINT in /var I have a link for mail to /mail which is a partition. If that
 will help.
 
 Regards,
 Michael
 
 PS I have been using 5.2 up till now without any problems, just decided to
 change.
