the emails comes to the mail server and go to user xxx, but because it
is smap the procmail filters it and redirects to junk mailbox,
the /var/spool/mail/
has both xxx and junk mailboxes
the /shared1/var/spool/mail
is the directory on the drbd filesystem with permissions:
[root(_at_)lexoncom ~]# ls -l /shared1/var/spool/mail
total 33720
-rw-rw---- 1 junk mail 133435 Sep 29 11:52 junk
-rw------- 1 root root 100238 Sep 29 04:02 root
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Oct 16 2008 SPAM
[root(_at_)lexoncom ~]# cd /shared1/var/spool/
[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 29 04:02 mail
[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]#
above could be a problem so i did :
[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]# chown root:mail mail
[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 root mail 4096 Sep 29 04:02 mail
[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]# chmod 770 mail
[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]#
But it did not help, so question is what user is trying to write to that
mailbox?

In the procmail rc I have:
We'll have to presume this is for the generic email address you're

something in your user home directory only helps to further confuse
the matter.
when the filter matches the procmail errors with:
procmail: Match on "^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"

Lock failure is most telling. This generally implies a permissions
failure. I'm prone to believe that you're trying to write to a
directory other than within your home dir. The filenameing in the
"Error while writing to" further implies that you're using maildir
format - where you're not just writing to the one file in the
mailspool that you own, but you're trying to create others (which, the
lockfile is as well, though ideally, you'd have other lockfile
strategies available).
It would be helpful to know what the MAILDIR variable is set to at
this point.
below is ls of mail directory:
-rw-rw---- 1 junk mail 8267 Sep 27 15:11 junk
~/mail/ or /var/spool/mail/ ? Looks like /var/spool/mail
If indeed it is /var/spool/mail/ then why do you expect you'd be able
to create other files there?
and ls of /var/spool
*[root(_at_)lexoncom spool]# ls -l
total 364
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep 26 10:49 mail ->
/shared1/var/spool/mail
Okay, so above mail ref IS of /var/spool/mail/junk this link may be
confusing things. What are the perms on /shared1/var/spool/mail ?
