Willy -- ...and then Willy S said... % % hi,
Hello! % % Yesterday I was playing with my procmailrc, and spambouncer. Since then, I can Were you playing with mutt, too, by chance? Did you compile and install a new version? % not delete the mail in my mailbox (/var/spool/mail/sutrisno). The message at % the bottom of Mutt says: "Mailbox is read-only." % % If I do: % $ ls -l /var/spool/mail/sutrisno % $ -rw-rw---- 1 sutrisno mail 13239 Apr 30 11:24 /var/spool/mail/sutrisno This looks fine. I expect that ls -lFd /var/spool/mail will show that only the mail group has permission to write in there, too. What do ls -lF `which mutt` `which mutt_dotlock` and mutt -v | grep DOT give you? If you have +USE_DOTLOCK in the latter, then one of the former will need to have the sgid bit set and be grouped by mail... % % The only way to delete it is to "$ cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/sutrisno" Ouch! That's certainly not the best approach :-) % % Anyone know what cause my mailbox to be read only? I have a feeling this one % got to do with procmail and spambouncer. Those two shouldn't make any difference -- unless, perhaps, you've been getting your mail in $HOME/INBOX or such this whole time and are just now starting to use the system spool dir, but the solution for that is the same. % % thanks HTH & HAND % % -- % Willy % [ http://web.singnet.com.sg/~sutrisno ] % Linux User #225035 - http://counter.li.org :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
