i get an error message for every incomming mail in my procmail logfile:
procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
everything seems to work fine anyway, but its quite annoying...
where does it come from and how can it be fixed?
This is explained in the manual page, and in the FAQ. Briefly, you
have a forwarding recipe with a lock file. This is basically always an
error.
You can enable VERBOSE logging for a while to figure out where the
erroneous recipe is, or if you don't have a lot of recipes, look for
one which looks like
:0:
* conditions, maybe
! somewhere
and take out the second colon from :0:
(Searching for the regular expression '^[ ]*!' in your
.procmailrc should show you the locations of the candidate recipes. If
you use Emacs, M-x occur is your friend.)
Hope this helps,
