File locking / directory problem

[Derrick Georgiades]

My queue directories are not NFS mounted.  My server had been running for 90
days without a reboot, during that time I must have changed something.  I
also started to get errors that MIME\body.pm couldn't parse emails.  Luckily
in my case we have redundant servers incase of a problem like this.  I think
I will just blow my MS and SpamAssassin away and start over on that system.
I have older versions of both anyway.
Thanks for the responses.

Are your spool dirs NFS-mounted? Sendmail generally uses flock (as does
mailscanner when working with sendmail), which is not NFS-safe...


Cheers,
