First off. Thanks for all the help. I'm starting to get to the bottom
of this. (I think.)
I set VERBOSE=on, and then ran some test messages and had some colleauges
send some test messages. Here's the end of what happened.

Subject: [ayoungs98(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com: Pink Samuri Bunny]
Folder: /var/spool/mail/timh 1435
procmail: Unlocking "/home/timh/mail/.lockmail"
It runts through a whole mess of stuff since my ~/.procmailrc is like 450 lines
long, and then ends there. When I see that, that's a good thing I'm assuming?
that means that it created the lock file, found a match, then removed the lock
file. Is that correct? Or am I still not grasping this? (Long rough day, it
is very well possible!)
So I need to find out what message is creating the lock file, and then nore
removing it? Am I on the right path now?
Again, thanks for the help! It's greatly appreciated!
tdh
p.s.
The uptime in signature was just kewl when I first saw/set it up. I've
since forgot it was even there. At one point I even boasted an uptime
of like 160 days. Recent power outages, server rebuild wiped that
clean though.

| Try searching the list archives. Also, try enabling VERBOSE logging, which

|
| :0:
| * somecondition
| {
| :0:
| file
| }
|
|
| Or something more elaborate, but the idea is that you have the lockfile at
| the outer brace level and it isn't needed except when you're outputting to
| a file (or when running certain scripts which you don't want to have
| running concurrently).

| If the mail you're filtering doesn't travel clear through your rulesets, or
| trigger the rule which has the extraneous locallockfile, then you're not
| going to see the warnings, are you?

| [snip - is your uptime really something that needs to be in a .sig?]
