/var/spool/mail/simonhaden (home/spool/mail/simonhaden) file is corrupted.?
[ ** try this at your own risk, it it what I would do on my server **]
cd home/spool/mail/
stop inetd /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop
cp simonhaden anything.
touch simonhaden [make him a new one [check permissions]
restart inetd etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start
take a look for a mangled header (From).
Maybe you can guess what it should be by looking at the others fix it.
stop inetd etc/rc.d/init.d/inet stop
cat anything (the backup file) >> /var/spool/mail/simonhaden
restart inetd. etc/rc.d/init.d/inet start
rm anything
