Subject: [9fans] Mailbox locks
Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2002 11:42:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020623114259.I3578@cackle.proxima.alt.za> (raw)

I'm sure TFM has the explanation buried in it, but maybe someone can
short-circuit my search:

I'm getting

error+
error+ Mail to `proxima.alt.za!lucio' from 'mykonos.proxima.alt.za!root' failed.
error+ The error message was:
error+ can't lock mail file

log entries when attempting to deliver mail to /mail/box/lucio/mbox.
I presume it's permissions related, but none of the permissions I
thought would be obvious actually look wrong to me.

I did use "mail -c" to reconstruct the mailbox after renaming it,
hoping that would correct the problem, but with no improvement.
