Bouncing mail while pop mailbox locked

Hi all,

I think I posted a question on the list before about this problem but I
never was able to find a fix for it:

I have sendmail 8.9.3 with procmail 3.11 as the LDA and the Digital
supported POP server, all that on DU 4.0b.

What's going on is that when a msg arrives while the pop mailbox is locked
because of the mail being picked up, the incoming mail gets bounced instead
of being spooled for a later retry.

I'm not sure if it's truly a sendmail issue or if procmail has anything to
do with this, but I still suspect sendmail to be the culprit.
I tried to find something in the sendmail config that would have some effect
on this without success.

Could anyone shed some light on this?
