The uucp account on our system receives a lot of email messages like:

Any way to prevent these from being sent?  Are they worth worrying about?

1. How to get rid of -"Hidden" email containing Folder Information

Hi,
Is there any way to remove the Folder Data email that is 'Hidden" unless
you cat /var/spool/mail/<user>?

This file is recreated when deleted, but in doing so causes most of my
programs to misreport the mail status as having one mail message, when I
actually have 0.

Is there any *real* purpose of this file, and can it be disabled in any
way?

Thanks
Ben
