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.
