procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/sbin/sendmail"

You likely have a recipe something like the following:

:0:
/usr/bin/sendmail -oi cajun2112(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com

This makes procmail think it should try to deliver to
the *mailbox* file named /usr/bin/sendmail

This will work better:

:0:
| /usr/bin/sendmail -oi cajun2112(_at_)gmail(_dot_)com

Aguably, the lock (trailing colon) isn't needed.


Thans to all who answered this with what they thought the problem was. 
Turned out to be a SELinux issue with FC-4. The rules are all firing now 
fine. Live and learn, I guess. Thought I'd pass this along in case 
someone else ever had this problem.
