Hello Managers,

Recently I've been getting error messages with the following fomat:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oct 9 12:00:56 spots binmail[13400]: cannot lockf
/usr/spool/mail/kas2434
Oct 9 12:01:54 spots binmail[27218]: cannot lockf
/usr/spool/mail/kas2434
Oct 9 12:02:54 spots binmail[14951]: cannot lockf
/usr/spool/mail/kas2434

o- lsof does not show any files opened with this name or by the user.
o- The inbox is empty.
o- No locks in /tmp.
o- Deleting the inbox solves the problem.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
