Procmail lock failures and errors while writing
- by user58292
I'm setting up a mail server on an embedded linux system.
When sending mail to a local user I get the following error from procmail:
procmail: Lock failure on "/home/mail/ktos/.mailspool.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "/home/mail/ktos/.mailspool"
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/ktos"

procmail: Error while writing to "/root/.mailspool"

Subject: Returned mail: see transcript for details
Folder: /var/spool/mail/root 1732
And the mail goes to /var/spool/mail/root.
This is my /etc/procmailrc:
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/.mailspool
DEFAULT=$HOME/.mailspool
LOGFILE=/dev/pts/0
SHELL=/bin/sh
What could be the problem? I'm still pretty green with all the sendmail and procmail stuff as I'm primarily a developer.
