I have received 10 copies of this bounce today. (see below)
I sent ONE message to this person (actually it went through the procmail
mailing list).
I have tried to report this to the Postmaster, and gotten MORE bounces from you.
If you cannot correctly deal with your mail box sizes (is it a good idea for
the POSTMASTER to have a mailbox limit???) then I have no reason to accept
your mail.
I have cc'd this to my sysadmin (in case you ever fix this, you can contact
them and get off my bounce list) and the procmail mailing list (I expect
others are experiencing problems with this user also).

NeXTStep uses a program called 'appnmail' that does its own locking, but I

all I need to do is add the "W" flag, right?
No, the 'W' flag would tell procmail that even if appnmail dies a horrible
death, it should act like it succeeded. Not what you want.
Well, I'm pretty sure that appnmail will tell me (via the log) if it dies
a horrible death (I've yet to see that in 2 years of pretty intense usage)
I'm not so concerned about the end result of appnmail as I don't want
them trying to grab from each other...
I've been using the "W" flag without incident so far...
Since if appnmail screws up, your entire mailbox will be hosed, I would
suggest not bothering. Multiple lockfiles are one of those things you
(almost) never do
Does the 'W' flag use a lockfile of some sort? If so I didn't realize
it....
