I keep on getting the following error in my procmail log file and
cannot work out what it means or what I should do about it from the

procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/lib/sendmail"
can I ignore this or is there a way to get rid of it.
You could start by including your .procmailrc in your message to the
list. This makes it much easier to explain what lines to change. The
problem in this case is that you have a recipe that
a) requests a local lockfile (the first line of the recipe has two colons);
b) doesn't give an explicit path for the lockfile (the colon in the last
character on the line); and
c) the action isn't either a simple mailbox or a program action that
contains ">>".
Since the action apparently involves sendmail, you almost certainly don't
need the locallockfile at all, and you can remove the second colon on
the first line of the recipe.
Does that make sense?
