Hi

Here's the result from the stat command:

stat /var/spool/mqueue
  File: "/var/spool/mqueue"
  Size: 311296          Blocks: 7448760    IO Block: 4096   Directory

Yep this is a redhat 7.2 system, that will be upgraded next month, finally :).

Any ideas on what else to check, before I do any delete's or fsck's.

Thanks
