Mutt works fine and I can easily see my missing e-mail now. Unfortunately, NS 4.78 doesn't seem to do that mailbox type. Also, the KDE mail monitor doesn't seem to either. Figuring that I'm still at odds with locking, I pursued these avenues: 1) I chmod on procmail so that it has access to the mail directory. Lo and behold I can not get the appropriate locks, as demonstrated within the logfile: procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/tmp/passthrough" procmail: Opening "/tmp/passthrough" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Unlocking "/tmp/passthrough.lock" procmail: Executing "spamc" procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/klinebl.lock" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/klinebl" procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/klinebl" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock That didn't help. 2) Going to www.procmail.org and browsing some of the docs, it appears as though 3.15.1 > procmail -v < 3.22 has some issues. I downloaded 3.22, compiled and installed it. I continue to get the same results. I've processed e-mail both by avoiding and using spamassassin with the same result, so I know SA isn't a problem. What perplexes me is why this is an issue at all. If indeed the sequence is: Pop3-->Fetchmail-->Procmail-->/var/spool/mail/klinebl (disregarding SA) then it would appear that this is sychronous... that is for each e-mail received this process is done in turn. Is this process asynchronous with fetchmail spawning another child process for each message received? In any event, given that the lockfile is now received I just can't figure out how this is happening. I really appreciate all the time that everyone has spent offering me suggestions. At this point, I'm at a loss... Barry _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
