File locking. If the first line of the recipe has : after the ruleset, like
:0:, then procmail locks the working file, you can optionally specify the
name of the lockfile like :0:file.lck . This can be a good thing if you
are using a classical mbox format. However, you don't want to lock qmail
maildirs, or some other destinations like /dev/null. This is mentioned
in passing in the procmailrc and procmailex manpages.
