Actually, the *correct* way to use Maildir with procmail is just to have a trailing slash on the foldername, e.g.: # fedora-list :0 * ^X-BeenThere.*fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx .INBOX.lists.fedora/ The trailing slash tells procmail that it's delivering to a Maildir and it will put the message in 'new/'. That way you don't need to use a lockfile. -- Mark Knoop
