Hi, I use postfix with procmail and I sometimes (possibly 3 -
4 times a
day roughly) get an error such as:
Oct 10 10:30:30 toowong postfix/pipe[10817]: 6824B1FC5F1:
to=<user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com>, relay=procmail, delay=1000, status=bounced
(Command time limit exceeded: "/usr/bin/procmail". Command output:
procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored procmail: Extraneous
locallockfile ignored procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored
procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored procmail: Extraneous
locallockfile ignored )
The mail then bounces back to me, although the mail was actually
processed by procmail so I *think* it's failing on removing
the lock file.
I'm sure it's got something to do with my rules, so here they are:
TIMEOUT=1960
Do you need to set TIMEOUT? If so, can you explain why?
I've read a lot of rcfiles in my day, but this is the first
I can recall seeing of someone actually invoking a TIMEOUT
setting.

Basically, do not use a lockfile when you pipe to
a program. You hae done that several times here.
Remove the colon after the "0" on the initial lines
when you are running a pipe as the action.
