Hi all, my Hypermail has stopped working, and I'm not sure why.
I've been using Hypermail v. 2b29 for many months now with no problems. I
use procmail to filter the incoming messages and send them to Hypermail if
appropriate.
Last night I changed the -d output directory on my UNIX system. Since then
Hypermail hasn't worked at all. I've made sure permissions were correctly
set in the new directory so that it could write to it. I even tried
changing the directory back to the old one and it no longer works.
When I run Hypermail from the command line on an mbox file called
mbox.2001, I get the following error:
hypermail: Couldn't create lock file "mbox.2001/.hypermail.lock".
What does this mean, and how can I correct it? Is that what's causing the
error?
thanks for any help you can give.
