Off-topic, but an easier way to log everything to one file which leaves your TRAP variable free for other purposes is to use a global lockfile so only 1 procmail can run at a time: # Global lockfile LOCKFILE=$PMDIR/globallock Theoretically this could impact performance but I can't imagine anyone receiving enough mail to make this an actual problem on any modern machine.
