I have a server running Debian 1.2.x, sendmail 8.8.5-1, procmail 3.10-4 and a client running Debian 1.3, pine 3.96L-2. The servers receives all mails from the Internet through sendmail (via UUCP). I have a ".forward" on my account to transfer all mails to procmail. procmail sorts the Debian mailing lists out (puts them in specific folders). All other mails are stored in /var/spool/mail/schwarz. When I access that folder with pine exactly when procmail modifies it (this happens frequently!) pine complains about some other process modifying "his" folder and aborts.
