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"
