Phillip, is there a specific version of procmail in which this is a known
bug or is known fixed?
The missing 'F' problem is NOT A BUG IN PROCMAIL. It is a sign that
either:
a) none of the locking methods used by procmail are working (so that
procmail is 'colliding' with itself), or
b) that some other program is accessing the mailbox without using a
locking method in common with procmail.
If you're using a locallockfile (or this is the implicit delivery to
$DEFAULT), then (a) is basically ruled out: I don't know of a system
where dotlocking isn't effective. In that case, you need to look at
all the other programs touching the mailbox and see how they think the
locking is supposed to work, then pick a method everyone can do and
recompile/reconfigure everyone to use it.
