You are putting yourself in an endless loop here. The lock file is
just a "semamphore" file which, if it exists, prevents Procmail from
continuing.
You'd need to set LOCKTIMEOUT to zero or a very high value. Other
than that, this is the perfect case for a regional lock file.
LOCKFILE=$HOME/locked.lock
:0
* some condition
$HOME/locked
:0A
| blah blah blah
LOCKFILE
The last line here is an assignment, it means essentially the same as
LOCKFILE='' and so purges the regional lock.
Does this lockfile affect just the two recipes in between the lockfile
statements, or does this apply to all procmail activity going on?
Thanks muchly for the help.
