Hello,
I helkped someone to install procmail as a user on Sun machine, so
calles procmail form his .forward. He's using it to forward some e-mail to
a mobile via the :0c block. All his e-mail should get delivered at
the end of .procmailrc by procmail itself (i.e. they are not
explicitly saved during procmail processing the script).
However, he gets some e-mails delivered only to the mobile and not to his
local account into /var/mail/kamil. Here's one of the e-mails which he
read only via mobile.
procmail: Bypassed locking "/var/mail/kamil.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/kamil"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/kamil"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: No match on "=\?[^?]+\?[qb]\?[^?]+\?="

Folder: /var/mail/kamil
$ ls -lad /var/mail
drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 35840 Jun 5 16:01 /var/mail
$ grep Mlocal /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Mlocal, P=/usr/lib/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSXfmnz9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
$
The manpage says
Bypassed locking "x" The mail spool directory was not ac-
cessible to procmail, it relied sole-
ly on kernel locks.
The question is:
would be of help if he puts at the end of his .procmailrc
line like:
:0:
/var/mail/kamil
The system is running sendmail and mail.local as LDA. Choosing a different
lockfile outside /var/mail is also useless I think. Why do some of his
e-mail get lost, when as LDA is in his case called procmail? Procmail
3.15.1, compiled by me on this machine. I think only pop3 daemon is
touching the mailfile in the meantime-as far as I can image something.
TIA
