I am getting the entry 'procmail: Extraneous ignore-write-error
flag ignored' in my from logs.

from 'man procmail':

       Extraneous x ignored   The action line or other flags  on  this
recipe
                              makes flag x meaningless.

Thus, you have an action line with 'i' (ignore write errors) asserted where
it doesn't make sense.

Typically, this happens when you attach an action flag to a recipe which
uses
curly brackets to group actions together:

Given:

DEFAULT=/dev/null
VERBOSE=yes

:0 i
{

:0:
xx.mbox

}

procmail -m ./test.rc < test.msg

prints the following:

procmail: [21593] Sat Feb 21 12:56:41 2004
procmail: Extraneous ignore-write-error flag ignored
procmail: Locking "xx.mbox.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=xx.mbox"
procmail: Opening "xx.mbox"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "xx.mbox.lock"
