smrsh and smartlist

Hi there, I was installing smartlist on a Redhat 6.2 machine yesterday that uses smrsh. I created a symbolic link in /etc/smrsh and get the following error in my maillog...any thoughts? ....can't fint /.etc in /var/spool/mail ummm...what's it looking for /.etc in /var/spool/mail for? I'm just slightly confused. Tom
