The above looks odd (if you transcriped it accurately), why is there a
\" after .lock?  You trigger a lock with the last ":" as in ":0:", but
you have still not told me how you go from the address 'coughtspam' to
user "j.smith", or said differently, what procmail rule covers delivery
of mail to this account?

procmail can deliver to maildir format, so in that sense it does
"understand" it.

If you read the last message that I send you carefully, you would notice
that I told you that procmail will deliver in maildir format if your
action has a trailing "/" as in:

:0
* some_condition
some_path/
