I have another question regarding ELM. When I send mail using ELM i get the following messages ( randomly ... in the sense sometimes i get the messages, sometimes i don't ) :- sendmail [xxx]:NOQUEUE:SYSERR(username):before readcf :fd 1 not open : Bad file descriptor xxx is a number like 184, 294 etc username is the sender's name. Can anyone tell me what is going on ? I have FBSD 2.0 running on a mailserver & i have complied ELM 2.4 on it. I have compiled ELM with the following options in " config.h " file /*#define USE_FLOCK_LOCKING */ /**/ #define USE_DOTLOCK_LOCKING /**/ #define USE_FCNTL_LOCKING /**/ #define LOCK_DIR "/var/spool/lock" /**/ ( i have commented out FLOCK LOCKING . this has helped me to get rid of the problem where ELM tries to read the mailbox & times out after 7 iterations ) Help is greatly appreciated. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vrushal Dongre Email: vdongre@rolta.com " Nothing, is the worst thing that can happen to anybody " -Richard Bach -------------------------------------------------------------------------
