Re: Intermittent procmail error

Lainaus "Neil Bird" <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>:
I use fetchmail to get mail from various places, that pipes to sendmail which at some point invokes procmail, which I've configured to dump mail into /var/spool/mail. This has worked OK for pretty much ever.

Ugh. Maildir would be a lot nicer solution, mbox should be a thing of the past... The bigger your mailbox gets the slower and more error prone it becomes to handle it. Maildir doesn't suffer from locking, either.

I *think* it may be happening when she leaves herself logged in with TB running, with a refresh poll of 1 minute; maybe the spool gets permanently file-locked? I have since reduced this to 2 min., and I *think* it's reduced the frequency of occurrences (my cron job also greps maillog for new errors).

Does it work when TB is not on?
