I have mounted /var/spool/mail from another system. When exim tries to
deliver a message into that mounted NFS volume I get the following
messages:
1996-12-23 11:08:13 clameter@???: local_delivery transport
deferred: failed to lock mailbox /var/spool/mail/clameter (lock file)
1996-12-23 11:09:34 clameter@???: local_delivery transport
deferred: failed to lock mailbox /var/spool/mail/clameter (lock file)
There is no lock on that mailbox as far as I can tell.
And exim leaves a lock file(?)

-rw-rw---- 1 clameter mail 0 Dec 23 10:56 /var/spool/mail/clameter

I am running Linux 2.0.27 under Debian 1.1 on the Server and Debian 1.2 on
the NFS client.
