Folks,
I'm experiencing a strange problem. When I send mail to <postmaster@
mdbe.com> (which I did because one of my subscribers left mdbe.com
without first unsubscribing and the bounce message from <mailer-daemon@
mdbe.com> didn't provide information from which I could determine who
the party was) with a "Return-Receipt-To: <ead@netcom.com>" header, I
get this error message sent to my mailbox every half an hour:
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 95 08:04:28 -0700
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON@sf_unix.mdbe.com>
Subject: Returned mail: Return receipt
Message-Id: <9506061504.AB05387@sf_unix.mdbe.com>
To: <ead@netcom.com>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
lmail: lock: cannot open root's mailbox:: Permission denied
lmail: can't lock mail file for root: Permission denied
lmail: unlock: fcntl failed... closing anyway: Bad file number
----- Message header follows -----

The mdbe.com postmaster doesn't know how to effect a permanent solution
to this. A temporary solution is to simply restart his mail daemon. I'm
no sendmail(8) guru, and am hoping someone is enough of a guru to
recognize the above errors so I can tell him what he needs to do to keep
the problem from recurring.
Thank you,
Eric De Mund <ead@netcom.com>
