Well, but I see no problem in that log.  Except that I have no idea
why we're bypassing the locking.  That looks suspicious.


Now to me i'm not seeing a problem there, but this is the users whole log
file, i deleted the old one to start again with the new verbose=yes in the
~/.prcomailrc and here is the output of ls /var/spool/mail/B*

[root(_at_)mail mail]# ls /var/spool/mail/B*
/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.cawoodk.FIVB
/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.jraw.h7UB
/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.harrisone.F7UB 
/var/spool/mail/BOGUS.leski-taylorj.OBVB

cawoodk defently had a problem ...

But we need to see a log entry where the problem appears.  Not a log
entry before any problem, and not a log entry after a BOGUS mailbox
already exists.  A log file where procmail decides to rename the
mail file BOGUS.
