Re: checking /var/spool/mail

Well I am going to reply to myself.
Looks like there are a few actions I never tried before.

http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html
WarnNonUserFiles
WarnNonOwnerFiles
WarnNonUserMail
WarnNonOwnerMail
DeleteNonUserMail
DeleteNonOwnerMail
DeleteNonUserFiles
DeleteNonOwnerFiles

This would be easier then what I had mentioned about the list.
DeleteNonUserMail, WarnNonUserMail looks like what you would use.
