The iphone checks mail, and disconnects uncleanly. Then there is a delivery attempt. I have procmail logging on, and procmail sits there trying to lock the spool file until the timeout is reached and it overrides the lock.
This causes the error "timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input" in sendmail, which is a generic error that means the delivery process or subprocess generated warning output on stderr.
(Incidentally does anyone know how to get access to procmail's stderr output?)
I've tried a number of different lock combinations. Nothing seems to help. Mail eventually gets delivered, though, so it's not a huge deal at the moment. I don't know how it behaves when the iphone tries to connect again while the box is still locked.
Hi Bill - did you find a solution for this problem?
Any idea how we can test this?
Or maybe it's not actually a problem, since eventually the locks time out and the mail gets delivered?
