"Couldn't create or rename temp file" error - mail gets stuck

2009-08-08 07:07:53

Good morning all

I have two postfix installations where mail gets delivered with the
command (delivered to command: procmail -a "$EXTENSION").

Sometimes I get a blank message in my MUA. Upon investigating it I
discovered that the procmail.log file has:

procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file
"/home/careers/Maildir/new/msg.LAOR"
From miguel(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com  Fri Aug  7 21:15:24 2009
Subject: RE: CV
  Folder: /var/mail/careers 




Can any of the experienced users help me determine:

1) Why this happens
2) How can I solve it to prevent mail getting stuck in the /var/mail
folder
3) If there is a way for procmail (or other agent) to retrieve mail that
was stuck there.


Thank you in advance,
Miguel
