Could someone offer a clue as to what is needed to fix this?
That's due to locking. Permissions on OpenBSD for /var/mail are a bit different. So - try different mechanism for at least mbox locking (fcntl or flock, etc.).
Hmmm - yeah... some Googling revealed a little change in the config file that solved the problem: from: 'mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl' to: 'mbox_write_locks = fcntl'
Gee... I wonder why the OpenBSD folks didn't take care of this?
Thnx, Jay
