Hello,

I've had to stall on the migration from smail to exim at work due to the
following error...

1999-03-23 20:36:47 10PfPJ-0004QJ-00 <= sender@??? H=localhost [127.0.0.1] U=root P=smtp S=271
1999-03-23 20:37:17 10PfPJ-0004QJ-00 == receiver@??? T=local_delivery defer (-9): failed to lock mailbox /var/spool/mail/receiver (fcntl)

The server that hosts /var/spool/mail is a solaris 2.5 box and the mail
exchangers are Linux (kernel: 2.2.2, distribution: Debian GNU/Linux 2.1).

I'm at a loss as to what would be the cause. It happened consistently
for all users. The only mail that was delivered was one user that filters
with procmail. When I reverted back to smail things resumed normally.

Jon
