|    Problem tossing mail    |
|    05 Jan 19 00:46:42    |
      Hello All,              I'm having a problem tossing mail. Sometimes when I run "./bbbs bogus w" I       see..              Message base locked (/bbbs/work/bbsrun.c exists), waiting...              In fact bbsrun.c does exist along with serveral 0 byte .tmp files in the work       directory. I need to delete it to continue tossing incoming mail until the next        time I get the above.              Has anyone else seen this and/or have any advice for getting inbound mail to       toss without getting the above error?              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)    |
