I am running RH 9 with fetchmail, procmail and spamprobe. I am very sure that I have not tinkered with any file, yet, since the last few days, a few mails are remaining stuck in /var/spool/mail/spavri. Out of about 300 emails, about 5 - 10 are stuck in /var/spool/mail/spavri; the rest are properly distributed by procmail to the respective mailboxes in ~/mail.
What could be the reason ? As I said, this was working perfectly, and I have not changed any file. Procmail does not run in verbose mode. -------------------- further to this email -- this is from procmail logs. the mail to root (sent by logwatch) landed up in /var/spool/mail/$USER ---------------------- procmail: Locking "/home/spavri/mail/INBOX.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/spavri/mail/INBOX" procmail: Opening "/home/spavri/mail/INBOX" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Error while writing to "/home/spavri/mail/INBOX" procmail: Truncated file to former size procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/spavri" procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/spavri" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: [2086] Sat Dec 20 15:04:29 2003 procmail: Unlocking "/home/spavri/mail/INBOX.lock" procmail: Notified comsat: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/spool/mail/spavri" From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Dec 20 15:04:26 2003 Subject: LogWatch for shiroy Folder: /var/spool/mail/spavri 1372 procmail: Unlocking "/home/spavri/.lockmail" ------------------------ thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K.
