Procmail, lockfiles and SpamAssassin

2006-10-25 13:03:00
I've got a virtualised web server (FC3, Plesk and Virtuozzo) hosting a 
number of domains. I've installed SpamAssassin and call it from 
.procmailrc files as described at 
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/UsedViaProcmail :
:0fw: spamassassin.lock
* < 256000
| spamassassin
  
The problem I'm facing is that a lot of incoming mail is skipping 
SpamAssassin, I'm guessing that the if the lock is on, the call is 
skipped rather than queued? I know it's passing the code as I've put a 
filter before and after the call which adds a X header to the mail and 
I'm seeing these two X headers but no evidence of the mail being 
processed by SpamAssassin.

Can anyone suggest what I can do to solve this problem? I'm reluctant to 
remove the lock as the SpamAssassin documentation suggests this is to 
stop overloading by multiple SpamAssassin instances. I'd rather it 
waited for the lock to free than skipping over it.

Thanks,
Geoff
