Got the same trying to use procmail (or elm filter) with mailtool on
SunOS4.1. Seems to be some major brain damage in mailtool. If anyone has any
ideas please share.. fuser marks mailbox files with "v" what means "file is
mmaped or execed". Smail that's currently running on this box was subject to
some really messy surgery. I want to move that box to exim but don't want to
do the same. Upgrade to Solaris is out of question.

Currently we are pushing users to netscape mail. Also removes a lot of
problems with MIME attachments.
