I'ts bad! But i don't know that. In a RadHat book i've read that in most cases procmail will work automaticly with the installed MTA and there is no neccessery thing to do. In man procmail i've read that i need this .forward file if procmail is not installed as default MDA. I don't use the .forward file. And i don't know how to set procmail as dafault MDA. Is that so automaticly if i only have procmail installed as MDA? I only installed procmail and wrote this .procmailrc: MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail :0 * ^To_ debian-user@lists.debian.org Debian Nothing happens. Then i changed .procmailrc to this: MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail LOCKFILE=$HOME :0 * ^To_ debian-user@lists.debian.org Debian And i get the shown error in procmails log file. This Lock failure matches all incoming mails from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > procmail: Lock failure on "/home/timeboy" > > From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 05 15:09:45 2001 > > Subject: From potato to woody (or sid?) > > Folder: /home/timeboy/mail/inbox 3107 I have an idea! If lockfile in not neccessary: Maybe it will work if i delete this LOCKFILE=$HOME entry in .procmailrc and use the .forward file to run procmail. If you have a better idea, please let me know! Timo
