Here is something what I have been trying to do:
--------
FROM=`formail -rtzxTo:`
:0c: lock.tmp
Is whitespace after the colon defining the local locfile a no-no?
I don't know, but I suspect it would be. So you'd want
:0c:lock.tmp or :0c :lock.tmp.
Whitespace is legal all throughout the ':0' line. The following is legal:
: 0 c : lock.tmp
The only places whitespace isn't ignored are inside a multi-digit number
of conditions (but you should be just saying "0" and letting procmail do
the counting) and inside a locallockfile name. If you want whitespace in
the locallockfile name you have to quote it. Otherwise, procmail emits
a 'skipped' warning and ignores everything after the first whitespace
character.
