Re: procmail slow email delivery

[Ric Otte <otte@CATS.UCSC.EDU>]

Thanks for the suggestion about locks on procmailrc.  I changed them.
But I don't think the slowness problem is due to too many messages in
exim's queue; I check my mail frequently, and usually get less than 5
messages at a time.  But I'll reread the exim man page.  Thanks,

Ric
