Hi,  I started using procmail recently and whenever I receive a new mail
an error message saying "mesg: cannot stat             biff failed: 
cannot locate your tty:...." appears in my log file.

Log file ------- procmail: Locking "/usr/mail/ddivakar.lock" procmail:
Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/mail/ddivakar" procmail: Opening
"/usr/mail/ddivakar" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock biff failed:  cannot

Can somebody explain why this is happening?

thanks,
