No, it means you've [The user doing this, that is] not read the
procmail documentation.
/tmp/newmail/ means a maildir located at that path. That is ALL it
means. It does not mean 'The directory named newmail located in /tmp/'.
Yes, the user has no need to use :0: for Maildir/ directories, and
procmailrc(5) should mention that he should just use :0, but still,
procmail should realize the directory hasn't been created yet so of
course there will be an error while writing to the lockfile.
Um.. I disagree. This is to my mind correct behavior as the lock
condition should NOT create directories.
