this entry is really only gonna make sense to the super geeky of the geeks out there:

i only get junk mail sent to the root account of a box, so i thought i’d just soft link /dev/null to the root mailbox.

turns out that sendmail is super smart and sees that i did that and tells me that that isn’t right:
Oct 18 16:26:16 wooha procmail[23906]: Renamed bogus “/var/spool/mail/root” into “/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.root.F1XB”

neat!
