smail "lock failed - try again" - message



Hallo,

When I connect to my ISP and run runq the message "lock failed - try
again" sometimes comes up in the /var/log/smail/logfile and mail in the
queue are not sent.  If, while online, I send a message directly from
pine, it goes through while the queue stays with the same message. 

Why does that happen?  What is this "lock failed"?  How can I correct it?

Thanks for your help in the past.
