Locakfile troubles

        Here is my questions. I have just installed the spambouncer config
        files and
        something a little strange is happening. Previously any message not
        otherwise processed by procmail wound up in my system defaul mailbox. i
        had not doen anything special to acomplish this it was just the default
        behavior of procmail. Now messages that should go to this mailbox are
        being sent there by one of the recipes you provided. I am getting the
        following error message in the procmail logs.

        ## procmail: Lock failure on "/usr/mail/stan.lock"

        Mye default mailbox is /usr/mail/stan. The permissions on it are:

        -rw-rw----   1 stan     mail     8287475 Jul 11 11:22 stan

        The permissions on the /usr/mail directory are:

        drwxrwxr-x   2 bin      mail        1024 Jul 11 12:57 mail

        Permissions on procmail are:

        -rwsr-sr-x   1 root     mail       53976 Jun 22 00:24 
/usr/local/bin/procmail

        I am concerned about coruption of my mailbox, and I don't understand
        why procmail can't get the lock. Do you?
