If your user maildirs are on a nfs mounted file- system, forget about the version conflict and move your maildirs somewhere else. Mailspools and similar stuff on nfs mounted filesystems tend not to work; not least because file locking on nfs is generally unreliable or simply nonexistant. Assuming your maildirs are NOT nfs mounted, then the error_code in question must be an application generated error. You have two places to look for an explanation: a) the manual page or info document for your application (try "man mail.local" or "man qmail" or "info qmail" and so on). b) UTSL (= "Use the source, Luke"), look in the sourcefiles of mail.local or qmail for error codes Wolfgang To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
