I did look through the kmail config screens for lockfile info, and missed it previously. I have it working now. The FAQ says: Procmail lockfile will use a small utility that comes with procmail called lockfile. You can use this if your mail folder is in a directory where you have write permission. This will not work on your /var/spool/mail/user file in most cases. It will create .lock files on your account when KMail is checking for new mail. Please note that this will only work if procmail is installed on your system. What I don't understand is why it doesn't work in /var/spool/mail, as I can run lockfile -ml and -mu from the command line to create and remove the lockfile /var/spool/mail/mfratoni.lock, as /usr/bin/lockfile is setgid mail. kmail should be able to do the same. It would appear that kmail just checks for write permission, and determines that it can't create the lockfile. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE90cT5n/07WoAb/SsRApEaAJ4tjzRDc05fOprvF3ntn+WD1uZVawCgrgd0 dYznJLIhLqA8OTJQueSs9nE= =oe1e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
