I noticed a bunch of these appear in our maillog while I was installing the
patches to our OS 6.4 Qube3 professional. It did it for a bunch of users
but then has stopped.
Mar 4 10:55:14 mail procmail[1795]: Enforcing stricter permissions on
"/var/spool/mail/<username>"
It was changing them from 660 -rw-rw---- to 600 -rw-------
For some reason it did this for a period of maybe half an hour and then
stopped. It hasn't done all of them.
Can anyone shed light on it for me please? I've configured sendmail but
haven't had anything to do with procmail (I think ;*) )
What do you recommend? 0600?
Thanks in Advance
Peter
PS Everything is working fine - it's just a little strange that it started
doing it then decided to stop - the message occurs as part of a delivery of
inbound mail (from an outside domain) because you can see the subsequent
<from> style message line.
