My fetchmail is running as a cron job every couple of minutes, so I think
it's very likely that's how it's happening.  As far as what storage, I
don't know.  I'm still trying to figure it out.  I followed a recipe I
found.  I'm not a database guy.  I'm guessing though, I need to add a
lockfile somewhere.  That's the fw:scorelock portion of your procmail file
above, if I'm correct?  I might want to change my cron to a script perhaps
that kills fetchmail, locks it somehow and then restarts?  Probably a few
different ways to do it.
