Procmail log message about locking

Hi all, everytime someone sends a message to my otrs system, I get some messages in my procmail log file telling me that the message can't not be locked. I think it needs to lock in case that someone else sends another message at the same time due to not have identical IDs. However, another line seems to unlock it. I am a little bit confused and I don't know if it is something I have to worry about or it is fine. Can someone let me know what is happening here or giving me some directions what to check? Thanks everyone, Xavi

check the second colon in the procmail recipes. i guess otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl can be called in parallel (right?!), so that we don't need procmail's lock file here. (i haven't got one in the procmail recipe.) rj
