If you simultaneously receive the first two messages from a new mailing list, one of the maildirmakes will succeed, the other maildrop process's maildirmake will fail, causing an exception trap, which will abort the delivery of the second message.

You need to put the whole thing under an flock, and trap exceptions only from the maildirmake process.

How about something like this:

if ( this is a mailing list ) { exception { to "${VMAILDIR}/.${LISTS}.${MATCH2}/" } exception { flock lockfile_${MATCH2} { `${MAILDIRMAKE} -f ${LISTS}.${MATCH2} ${VMAILDIR}` } `( echo Subject: New IMAP folder created ; \ echo Created ${LISTS}.${MATCH2} in ${VMAILDIR} ) \ | QMAILNAME="Mail Admin" \ QMAILUSER="postmaster" \ QMAILHOST=robinbowes.com \ ${QMAILINJECT} ${EXT}@${HOST}` to "${VMAILDIR}/.${LISTS}.${MATCH2}/" } }

... or am I missing the point?
