I think you may be putting a lock on the recipe that runs spamc - you don't want to do that. The only time you need to lock in procmail is when you're writing to a file that might be called by multiple procmail processes at one time.

So, instead of:

   :0 fw:
   | spamc

you want:

   :0 fw
   | spamc

Here is our setup...

2 inbound mail servers solaris running sendmail, one primary one secondary. Secondary has all users inboxes NFS mounted to the primary and 4 imap/pop servers.
If I crank up spamd/spamc things start to bog down greatly.. I never see
but one spamd/spamc process at a time but my promail's start to
climb...  The global procmailrc file is pretty much the example from the
doc's.. If I add DROPPRIVS=yes to the procmailrc then I get all lots of
message of:
procmail: Lock failure on "spamassassin.lock"
procmail: Lock failure on "spamassassin.lock"

Last bit if info, users home dirs are in AFS space... Where is the
spamassassin.lock file created?  Is there a way to tell if where to
create it?
