-I found server logged into mailbox on my smtp server
-This server released connection for inactivity after 10 minutes.
-in the 10 minutes between logged in & disconnected for inactivity, 3 attempts to send message from 3 different clients to this mailbox failed due to
unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable
-after disconnection the 3 messages reached mailbox good.
I tried to simulate the process and lock test mailbox but I couldn't, I was aiming to understand who can lock ? who has exclusive access ? and why only client server can lock ? and how to solve this ?
