Hi

I am having problems with dovecot POP3 server on FC3. to try and
track down the problem i added logging to procmail for the user who
cannot get his mail.

 Subject: Two fantastic half price offers
  Folder: /var/mail/easukcom        16404

there is a file easukcom.lock which seems to be created by procmail
but not dropped and procmail cannot add the new message because of
this. i suspect the lock file exists before procmail sets the lock.

the lock is owned by usersUID.usersGID mbox file is usersUID.mail


Is there only one user with those problems?

Is '/var/mail/easukcom' a file or a directory?
Do you need mboxfile, or maildir type delivery?

Show (the relevant part of) the .procmailrc that does this.
Is it a user's .procmailrc or a central one?
