Above you have a command to append to mutt-users.gz. IMHO you should
lock this folder before writing to it, because otherwise a second
process (either mutt or a second procmail instance) could write to
this file at the same time, which may cause trouble.

I would try this procmail rule:
:0:
* ^Sender: owner-mutt-users@mutt\.org
|gzip -c $s >> ~/Mail/mutt-users.gz
If I understand procmailrc(5), the extra ':' should use the name after
'>>', append $LOCKEXT and use this as the lockfile.
Tschoeeee
