I have similar setup as the one you have and I notice the failure of procmail acquiring lock whenever there are too many messages (more than 5k) in my "freebsd-questions" mail folder (mbox format). I'm also subscribed to freebsd-current, freebsd-stable and a host of other lists, but it only happens to me so far on freebsd-questions (highest volume list). The only work around is to keep the number of messages hovering below 5k or so. I suspect this is an obscure bug with procmail handling high volume mboxes. Maybe using mail folder instead of mbox will help, but I have not tried this. -- Hong ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Procmail Lockfile
Hi, I'm trying to setup procmail to deliver my mail but I continuously receive the following errors in my log file. procmail: Locking ~/Mail/Lists/FreeBSD-Questions.lock procmail: Error while writing to "~/Mail/Lists/_YmHxxx.gardnerbell.ca" I do receive my mail but it always ends up in the default location that I have specified. In my .procmailrc file I have the following environment variables: MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/received PMDIR=$HOME/.procmailrc LISTFOLDER=$HOME/Mail/Lists SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail This is the recipe that fails to acquire a lock :0: * ^(From|To).*freebsd.org ~/Mail/Lists/FreeBSD-Questions The permissions on my Mail and Lists directory are set to drwx-- Any help to resolve this is appreciated.
