Understanding lockfiles

2002-10-25 22:42:20
I've had a hard time understanding when to use lockfiles.  I've been
following Procmail Companion examples.  It's straight forward when a
message from a top level is going straight into a box.  But I have
filters (spamassassin) and nested recipes, which gets confusing.  

Today I think I lost a message.  I saw two messages come in on my
personal account, but looking at the logfile, only one of the messages
was accounted for.  Looking around in Mutt didn't reveal it either.

Is it possible that I'm using a lockfile when I shouldn't, or not
using one when I should?  Would misuse of lockfiles cause messages to
get thrown away?
