Hi all,

I'm using procmail for quite sometime. I have it running on 2 servers, 1
of them works fine, but 
the other I keep getting this error:

procmail: Lock failure on "/var/mail/jsmith.lock"



My .procmailrc is:

SHELL=/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/export/home/mbaki/proc.log
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

:0 HB
* ^Content-Disposition: attachment;
*filename=".*\.(exe|vbs|shs|com|pif|bat|scr)"
/dev/null


My .forward is:

"|IFS=` ` && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #jsmith"

Thank you


Check the permissions on /var/mail and make sure it's chmod 1777 with the
sticky bit.....
That usually takes care of it for me, especially after an upgrade which may
change the permissions.
