Well I don't think the distro really matters... But its complaining
about it missing if you touch the file first it wont complain
anymore... But after shutdown the file is removed and then it
complains again on next startup... Funny thing is that it creates it
fine anyway and I don't seem to be having any issues..

Check your maillog to see if your getting the other error I got "while
sending an email" ... That one scares me more cause its talking about
error state and what not..
