The Procmail example should use locking; i.e., you should change the :0

on the first recipe to :0:.

You should use locking always when saving to a file.

For a bit of a treatment of this topic, please refer to the Procmail FAQ at
http://www.iki.fi/era/procmail/mini-faq.html.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change ":0" to ":0:" in the first procmail recipe at top of page 81

In "About the Authors," replaced the 2 paragraphs with

Alan Schwartz is an assistant professor of clinical decision making
in the Department of Medical Education at the University of Illinois
at Chicago. He is the author of Managing Mailing Lists (O'Reilly &
Associates, 1998). In his spare time, he develops and maintains the
PennMUSH MUD server and brews beer and mead with his wife. As mail
administrator for a number of organizations, he deals with unsolicited
email on a daily basis; as the moderator of the rec.games.mud.announce
Usenet newsgroup, and a NoCeM issuer for rec.games.mud.admin, he
gleefully fights back against newsgroup 9781565923881. Turn-ons for Alan include
sailing, programming in Perl, playing duplicate bridge, and drinking
Anchor Porter. Turn-offs include 9781565923881 (obviously!) and watery American
lagers.

Simson Garfinkel is a computer consultant, science writer, and columnist
for the Boston Globe. He is the author of PGP: Pretty Good Privacy
(O'Reilly & Associates, 1994) and the coauthor of Practical UNIX &
Internet Security (O'Reilly & Associates, 1996) and Web Security &
Commerce (O'Reilly & Associates, 1997). Mr. Garfinkel writes frequently
about science and technology, as well as their social impacts. This is
his seventh book.

(195, last page) In para. 2, lines 1 and 2, removed "(and Hanna Dyer designed
the CD label)".
