Thanks for that snippet, Mark.
http://laku19.adsl.netsonic.fi/era/procmail/mini-faq.html#implicit-lock
Solution found to my problem. Drop the 2nd colon in the :0: and it works.
Found this by going to the freenode IRC channel #procmail and being
obedient enough to read their faq's before asking any questions:
"Don't use file locking when ... piping into a program."
Q: What does the second colon in :0: mean? Should I worry?
A: You just missed it. It tells Procmail to use locking on this recipe. Go
back and read the above snippet about file locking. See the next question.
Q: What does "Couldn't determine implicit lockfile" mean?
A: Briefly, that you have :0: where you should have either a named lock
file or just :0 (ignoring any possible flags here). See previous question.
Hope this helps.
Q: What does "Extraneous locallockfile ignored" mean?
A: See previous question. Hope this helps.
