Hi,

just for debug, try to run a cron with a find, lookung for lock file...
match this with the log file...

As said Chris :
- a lock means a tpop3d process reading the mailbox
- a tpop3d which crashes before removing the lock
- another program (postfix or any MTA ?) locking the box at the same time

this is hard to traceback... but tpop3d does not put locks for jocking :))

Cheers,
