After experimenting a bit, I've settled on that approach:

       :0
       | cat - >> /var/tmp/spamstore

Why would you do that instead of

 :0
 /var/tmp/spamstore

which saves two processes? And are you sure you shouldn't have a local lockfile on that? I haven't read the entire thread through, so maybe there's a good reason for having no local lockfile (perhaps there's a global or regional lockfile in effect, or the recipe can never be triggered in two procmail processes at once), but I can't imagine one for invoking cat and a shell for something procmail can do without help.
