This is REALLY driving me mad now.
I have been getting the classic ^rom (^ denotes start of line and is not
actually a character I am finding in the mail file) at the beginning of a
line in many of my mail boxes. This is described as a file locking problem
in most of the docs due to the one second delay from writing the "F" and
the "rom". So I added a lock to the final delivery:
:0:
$DEFAULT
Which gives me a lock when procmail attempts to deliver the mail at the end
of my recipes (no other recipes deliver mail, they just add headers or
redirect mail off site). I appear to be getting locking:
procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/james.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/james"
procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/james"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/james.lock"
procmail: Notified comsat: "james(_at_)27755249:/var/spool/mail/james"

Folder: /var/spool/mail/james
But, I still get several ^rom lines in many mail boxes several times a
week. This is driving me nuts. I host mail for several domains and am
facing some angry users who are getting trashed email.
If you can offer any help........thanks.
