As I said, I had to create /var/spool/mail/sharukh. The rest is unchanged,
at least by me :).
Also, a few mails are getting stuck in /var/spool/mail/sharukh. Below is
the relevant stuff from procmail.log:
----------------------------------------
procmail: Locking "/home/sharukh/mail/INBOX.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/sharukh/mail/INBOX"
procmail: Opening "/home/sharukh/mail/INBOX"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Error while writing to "/home/sharukh/mail/INBOX"
procmail: Truncated file to former size
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/sharukh"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/sharukh"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "/home/sharukh/mail/INBOX.lock"
procmail: Notified comsat: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/mail/sharukh"
