I have a problem with exim-4.76-1 on my Cygwin installation under Windows 7. On having received a message addressed to a local user, exim creates the lock file in the /var/spool/mail directory and ... freezes. The message shows up in mailq as "frozen". I have to remove the lock file manually, then run exim -M on the message ID for its final delivery into the user file. Here is an example... I send a message from another machine to user "gustav" on "yanchep". The message *does* get appended successfully to file "gustav" in the spooler. But the lock does not go away and mailq shows the message as still frozen. root@yanchep /var/spool/mail $ ls -l total 8 -rw-rw-rw- 1 gustav Domain Users 7871 Oct 25 17:19 gustav -rw-rw-rw- 1 gustav Domain Users??? 0 Oct 25 17:19 gustav.lock -rw-rw-rw- 1 root??
