Hi Alan,
Thanks for the response - that will mitigate the issue as will changing
to a MailDir format for the saved file. I would still be interested in
knowing if anyone has tried to save to a very large file in procmail
recipe, and if so what can be done allow mail delivery to the mail spool
while waiting for a lock to be released. Here is the version of
procmail I'm using:
----------
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10

Submit questions/answers to the procmail-related mailinglist by sending to:
<procmail-users(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org>
And of course, subscription and information requests for this list to:
<procmail-users-request(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org>
Locking strategies: dotlocking, fcntl()
Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
It may be writable by your primary group
