Hello,

I've got some problems with file-locking (Exim 1.73, Linux 2.0.30):
Here is what I get from exim_mainlog:

1997-10-21 10:48:09 0xNbr4-00008b-00 Failed to get write lock for /var/spool/exi
m/db/retry: Device or resource busy
1997-10-21 10:48:09 0xNbr4-00008b-00 Failed to get write lock for /var/spool/exi
m/db/retry: Device or resource busy

Exim suids to "exim", the spool-dir /var/spool/exim belongs to user "exim",
so do the files in there.

I assume that settings for use_lockfile etc only affect the delivery to
mailboxes (?) Can anyone help?

Regards,
Andreas
