I have been trying to work out why I do get this error:
Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/_TSC.LWwPBB.terminator.odysse"
where could possibly the _TSC.LWwPBB come from? terminator.odyssey is
the localhost as you guess
Am I goofing up? btw I use Fedora core 2.
That is a typical thing that happens sometimes with NFS (networked
fileshares) where a process did not shut down cleanly leaving a
temp file in place. Check your process tables. Could also be
a permissions problem so that the temp file can't close out
because the target is unwriteable.
dman (has no idea what Fedora" is)
I don't use NFS so I guess it's a permission issue.
Procmail uses the same user permissions as the home user (in this case
admin) so what's wrong with this?
[root(_at_)terminator root]# ls -l /var/spool/mail/admin
-rw-rw---- 1 admin mail 0 Sep 8 17:36 /var/spool/mail/admin

Actually I just noticed that the directories /var and /var/spool both
have
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Jul 20 10:09 spool
But if I just set lockfile=$HOME/.procmail.lock to avoid any problems in
the root I get the same errors. As a matter of fact it still tries to
lock /var/spool/mail/admin

Sorry but I must be overlooking something?
