OK. % play with my procmailrc, coz I just starting to use spambouncer. Good. % % > This looks fine.

While mutt_dotlock is group mail, it does not have the sgid bit set, so it gets run as the calling user. You need root to chmod g+s /usr/local/bin/mutt_dotlock in order to lock spool files under /var/spool/mail (or, it seems from your ls above, /var/mail). % % > mutt -v | grep DOT % And for that: % $ mutt -v | grep DOT % -HOMESPOOL +USE_SETGID +USE_DOTLOCK +DL_STANDALONE % % I do not understand all these. I believe there is nothing wrong with my folder. This simply notes that mutt does not expect to look in your home directory for spool files, expects to have the SGID bit enabled on its locking program, expects to use dotlocking, and expects to find a standalong dotlocking program. Everything here is in order, too. % Is it because spambouncer do something to my mailbox? Nope. It's a mutt_dotlock permissions problem, as I suspected. % % thanks you You're welcome! % % -- % 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!
