inbox.lock

[cosmin]

Hello!

Some times when I send a mail to a domain from my server I receive a error message like this:

> This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
>
> A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
> recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
>
> mail@some.domain.com

/var/spool/mail/mail/inbox.lock.some.domain.com.3fc59eb
8.00004588 (euid=8 egid=12):
> retry timeout exceeded

What can be?

Thanks!

Try to remove the inbox.lock files from the directory. This can fix the error.
