[CLUE-Tech] procmail lock failure

[Angelo Bertolli]

Just a follow-up on this.

My procmailrc says:

> :0:
> * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
> /var/spool/mail/SPAMASSASSIN


My procmail.log says:

> procmail: Lock failure on "/var/spool/mail/SPAMASSASSIN.lock"


And my mailbox looks like:

> -rw----rw-    1 root     mail         8.2M Sep 20 17:00 
> /var/spool/mail/SPAMASSASSIN
