Renaming bogus?

1995-11-06 12:59:07

I am using procmail v3.10pre5 1994/10/07.

The syslog keeps getting the messages.

Nov  6 11:12:20 MAILBOX.SLAC.Stanford.EDU procmail[13518]: Renamed bogus 
"/usr/spool/mail/raines" into "/usr/spool/mail/BOGUS.CN"
Nov  6 11:12:20 MAILBOX.SLAC.Stanford.EDU procmail[13518]: Renamed bogus 
"/usr/spool/mail/raines" into "/usr/spool/mail/BOGUS.CN"

The new file has the characteristics:

-rw-------  1 raines          0 Nov  6 11:12 BOGUS.CN


I don't understand what is causing this or why procmail should think 
it is bogus. It doesn't correspond to any of the man pages definition 
of bogus (does not belong to the recipient, is unwritable, is a 
symbolic link or is a hard link). The /usr/spool/mail directory itself 
is a symbolic link though, but that should not matter. Is this a bug 
fixed in a newer version?
