Hello,

I have set up Procmail, so that it fiters all the incoming mails, pipes 
them to spamassassin and then feeds them to the mailman wrapper.

Something like this (it's also described in the python.org FAQ):

/etc/mail/aliases:

mylist:     "/usr/bin/procmail -m MAILMAN=mylist /etc/procmailrc"

/etc/procmailrc:

:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc -myoptions

:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post ${MAILMAN}


Now, check out these two:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.23
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.15

In the first case, the procmailrc rule uses a lockfile, but in the 
second case, it doesn't.

I am 90% sure that the rule:

:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post ${MAILMAN}

doesn't need any procmail lockfile because wrapper knows what to do when 
two or more e-mails arrive simultaneously (at exactly the same time). 
Am I right ??

I am only 10% not sure because one of the FAQ examples uses a procmail 
lockfile. I think it's wrong.
