Re: Intermittent file locking issue causes procmail and then postfix timeout (procmail Digest, Vol 124, Issue 1)

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:
