The messages you refer to are:
errors occured while rotating /var/log/xferlog {
stat of /var/log/xferlog failed: No such file or directory
The fix is this: edit /etc/logrotate.d/proftpd and add the line 'missingok'.
/var/log/xferlog {
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP in.proftpd
endscript
missingok
}
This has just been fixed in CVS.

I don't know what your problem with 'mail' is (q quits), but you have 6
virtual consoles (alt-F1 .. F6) which you can switch to and log in if you
need to kill a process.
You may want to consider using another mail program like 'pine' as well.
