Dear all,
I've tried to setup sendmail to use procmail on RH7.0. All is fine
except that procmail refuses to write to /var/spool/mail with an error
(Lock failure on "/var/spool/mail/eggman.lock). The permissions for
/var/spool is (drwxr-xr-x 13 root root) and the permissions for
/var/spool/mail is (drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail). Similarly, when I
try to log into QPopper, I get this error:
-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Failed to create /var/mail/.eggman.pop with uid 511, gid
12. Change permissions.
So clearly, the permission are screwed up, but I can't seem to think how
to correct them. I've tried many suggestions from Google results, like
setting chmod 1777 /var/spool/qmail but the same situation happens
again. Can anybody help?
The bounced email is:
