    In a recent thread I saw mention of using a "lock" file with
    spamassasin.

    I don't use fetchmail, procmail etc (at least nothing that I've
    configured) , just lowly kmail to download and
    read my mail. (don't have time or the need to learn about fetchmail,
    procmail etc, right now).

    I set up a filter in kmail to use spamc to sort out spam mails and its
    working well - except for the horrible slowdown while spamc does its
    job.

    I've read the spamassasin docs but I don't see any info about how to
    setup a "lock" file, especially in conjunction w/ kmail.

    Can this be done with kmail? If so how.

    Part of the thread discussing lock files is quoted below...

    As I'm only using kmail I have no ~/.procmailrc file.

    Thanks
