*******************************
I have a new mail server.
Solaris 8 intel sendmail 8.12
I have quotas settup
I have uw imap and qpopper installed also
I am using procmail 3.22 as my mda. Mail is delivered to ~user/.mail
For most of the users we copied their mailbox (mailspool) file from the old
server to the new server and placed the file in the home directory and
fixed permissions on the file. File is owned my user in group of user.
Permissions are rw user only.
For a few other accounts the .mail file was generated by procmail
delivering mail. IF procmail was the first one to open .mail (if procmail
actually created .mail) all is well. On the other accounts the mail is
delivered but we get the
Enforcing stricter permissions on ~user/.mail
message.
All files have exactly the same permissions. All ownerships are the
same. If I erase a .mail and let procmail recreate it the account is
"fixed". Is there some kind of locking that is tracked procmail somewhere
or some other thing going on? I have seen this mentioned before bur never
with a clear answer for my case. I hate to have to fix this by hand on
thousands of accounts.
Thanks,
Andy
