As for LOCKFLAG, I know maildir doesn't require locking, but
does it hurt?

It certainly can, with many spam messages per minute.

Ok, but that's a general locking bottleneck, independent of
whether using maildir or not.

Why do you think that? (maildir is supposed to be done without file
locking)


But you still use the H-flag several times. Just remove them, an
H-flag is never needed.

*sigh*
I've begun this list before I learned about the H-error, and put
it then for explicity(?) reasons almost whereever used so people
know where a rule applies.

Just weed it out.

You could use "* H ?? regex" to be explicit, but just don't.

Maybe add a comment at the start that says something like

  # Procmail conditions work on the message header only,
  # unless the B-flag and/or the B-variable is used,
  # see procmailrc(5). Never use the H-flag, it is the
  # default anyway and it can cause problems.
