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.
It's a regional lockfile, in effect between the assignment and the
deassignment. (This is easy to test, too.)
