Does any one know or experience why e-mails get combine into one big message? I am running my mail server on Linux (RedHat 7.0) with Sendmail 8.11 for MTA adn Procmail 3.15 for LDA. Whenever I try to get messages from the server using either Outlook or Netscape Messenger I alway get all of my e-mail in one big message. It seem like it does not seperate the mail probably. Does any one have any idea why? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It seems that you are retreiving your mailbox directly from your spool directory. Usually it is in /var/spool/mail/ and contains a file with all the received messages.
Try to find out where, in your configuration, such directory is written.
When you connect to a unix server with outlook/netscape client, you point to a POP3 or IMAP server. Is your server configured for the POP3 or IMAP service? If it is, maybe the wrong configuration is in their configuration files...

Hope it will help you...
