Perhaps I have done something silly.
I did. For recipes that expand to a
block instead of a file to append to,
a lock file is extraneous :-) Only in
sub-recipies where a file is written
to should a lockfile be used. Thus
the following incorrect/correct .procmailrc
segments:
---------incorrect-----------
:0w:
^X-Mailing-List:
{
:0w:
^X-Mailing-List: some-project(_at_)someplace
}
-------- correct --------
:0
^X-Mailing-List:
{
:0w:
^X-Mailing-List: some-project(_at_)someplace
:0w:
^X-Mailing-List: some-other-project(_at_)some-other-place
}
-------------------------
Duh :-) I didn't fully understand
how locks worked. I think I understand
better now...
Perhaps someone could put this in the FAQ
so others do not scratch their heads?
