Hello all ... we have recently started using POP mail and use the popd
on our 3000/800s running DU3.2C (/usr/lib/mh/popd -p 110). Very
occassionally a client (Netscape) gets the error "unable to lock
maildrop" which persists for an extended period of time. Two clients got
this error yesterday. After all seemed well again, one client who had
had the error sent mail and it was received by the other client who had
had the error. The mail was in no way, shape or form addressed to him.
Can anyone tell me what are "unable to lock maildrop" errors, and what
are the most probable causes of such errors? And is the mail delivery
error related? It seems unlikely that the delivery error would
coincidentally have occurred between these same two clients.
Pointers gratefully received. Thanks!
