What does this mean

sks1024

I have a form mail script that sends out an email to everyone in a table in my db with variables passed from the previous pages' form.

The script seems to work fine but on the output page thats says your mail has been sent it also now displays this message which I have never seen

/home/u4/firstcrack/dead.letter... Saved message in /home/u4/firstcrack/dead.letter

Could someone tell me what this means and if I should be concerned?

Thanks

alanzhao
