Procmail & elm lock interaction

1996-07-23 20:09:52

I am using procmail v3.10 and elm Elm 2.4 PL22

Procmail is using dotlocking, flock() locking, and elm is
configured for USE_DOTLOCK_LOCKING (.lock) USE_FLOCK_LOCKING USE_FCNTL_LOCKING.

When procmail is sorting mail into a non-system mailbox while Elm
has the mailbox open, elm will quit with this error:
        
        Folder is corrupt!!  I can't read it!!

I suspect that the problem is that elm is looking for lock files
in /usr/spool/locks (for non-system mailboxes), while procmail is
locking in same directory as the mailbox file).

How do I get procmail and elm to play nicely together?

Thanks,

Jeff
