". . . since I use Maildirs . . ." I don't use locks but I'm afraid I
don't know what "Maildirs" is/are? Can you enlighten me? I might be
using them but just not konw it.
Also, since I'm at it should I be starting my recipes thusly:
:0 HE
* ^blahblahblah
blahblah
I know from the man pages that H is the egrep for the header and is a
default. So I probably can take it out no? Now I'm confused about the E
that I use. The procmailrc(5) man pages says:
This recipe only executes if the immediately preceding recipe was not
executed. Execution of this recipe also disables any immediately
following recipes with the 'E' flag. This allows you to specify `else if'
actions.
Isn't this the default anyway or am I missing something? What is the
difference between the E and the e flags then?
Thanks in advance!

PS I've dropped the qmail persuit until I have a better understanding of
procmail. But thanks anyway to all who replied.
