The rule is... :0Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 .msgid.cache I have it in my home directory .procmailrc file. Hmmm, sounds like this may be one fo the problems (ie permissions). Gerry On Sat, 5 May 2001, Mads Martin Jørgensen wrote:

[May 05. 2001 08:32]: I noticed that you posted this nice little procmail recipe about a month ago. I tried it out but get a list of error messages in my log file for each message that arrives.
First, I think the way this is written I should be getting an error. Have I done something wrong or is it normal to get the following with each message...
procmail: Lock failure on "msgid.lock" formail: Couldn't open "msgid.cache"
Can you show us the rule? This indecates that you're trying to write the msgid.{lock,cache} in a place without rights.
