IW 0:00.00 bin/qmail-local -- ernst /home/ernst ernst localhost 81245 ?? IW 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c preline /usr/local/bin/procmail 81246 ?? IW 0:00.00 preline /usr/local/bin/procmail 81247 ??

IW 0:00.00 preline /usr/local/bin/procmail 81260 ?? RN 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/procmail : (and so on) Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Looks like there's some deadlock situation. It seems my email isn't getting thru either. My setup: FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE on a P2-400, 128 MB, U2W qmail-1.03 (from the ports) (Maildir folder format) procmail-3.14 (from the ports) (run from ~/.forward) fetchmail-5.5.1 (from the ports) (uses pop3s) Any ideas/pointers would be great :) Ernst To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
