That just means the mailbox was empty and the mbox file didn't exist. It's just using /dev/null as an imaginary file because no mail has been sent to the real file. Just send yourself an email and it'll go away (it's not really an error)

Hello,

Are you running the latest version of vm-pop3d? 1.1.7e

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=738

1.1.6 has some flaws where if someone sent a crafty email with a weird message id, it can make vm-pop3d spit out some strange things, which some software can handle and others cannot.. Try upgrading then see.
