I didn't see Lars's post, but Eric quoted him as saying,

Eric responded,

S> as you say ... I cut and pasted:

S> :0 Wh: msgid.lock

Doesn't look very solved to me; it seems that the MTA is still firing off
2559 copies, one for each recipient, and procmail (if that recipe is in
/etc/procmailrc or somewhere else where it is seen for all copies and all
copies are being processed in the same working directory) is delivering one
and trashing the other 2558.

Are all recipients getting their copies, Eric?
