The attached patch fixed the problem for me. There may have other

Uploaded, with a full check for all uses of the builtin
defined.
Great, thanks.
And congratulations for your courage in maintaining a package with a so
old code base.
The problem with messages that are not dropped in ~/mbox.$user, in
case of failure, is a separate bug from the one that is addressed by
my patch.
if can't write the message to your system
mailbox (or whatever you have specified as your maildrop) (lock
failure or permission denied), it tries ~/mbox.$USER, and, failing
that, it drops it in the emergency directory (as specified in
~/.mailagent) .
I have the following in my ~/.mailagent:
madir : ~/.config/mailagent # Main mailagent directory
emergdir : $madir/lost+mail # Emergency directory (for dumps)
and I do have:
$ ls -ld ~/.config/mailagent/lost+mail
drwxr-xr-x 2 rafael rafael 4096 Jan 21 09:42
/home/rafael/.config/mailagent/lost+mail
However, after the failures that I had yesterday, the directory above was
empty.
Moreover, with the buggy mailagent script I see the follwoing error
messages in the log file:
16/01/21 09:44:18 mailagent[178721]: MATCH on rule #319 in mode INITIAL
16/01/21 09:44:18 mailagent[178721]: ERROR Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you
should just omit the defined()?) at (eval 680) line 5, <DATA> chunk 606., while
parsing code of compress'restore.
16/01/21 09:44:18 mailagent[178721]: NOTICE not saved, leaving in mailbox
16/01/21 09:44:19 mailagent[178721]: WARNING using /home/rafael/mbox.rafael
for mailbox
but no /home/rafael/mbox.rafael was created in the system. Even if I do
"touch /home/rafael/mbox.rafael", it does not help. This is probably a
bug in mailagent. Should I file a separate bug report?
