locking w/ whitelisting

[Barry Gould]

Hi,

In my procmailrc, I have a whitelist, which does makes a copy, and runs it 
through bogofilter -n
(recipe below)

Subsequently, all messages are run through bogofilter -e -p

I'm concerned that the whitelist may not work on the current message if 
both tasks run at the same time; i.e. the -e -p may not be affected by the 
-n for the current message.

Question: should I do some sort of locking so that the bogofilter -n 
finishes before the bogofilter -e -p? What would be the best way to achieve 
this?

Thanks,
Barry
