Simplistically, the lockfile program that comes with procmail allows an
age to be specified --- if the lockfile is older than a certain amount
of time it is removed --- I used this feature often:

       If you specify a  locktimeout  then  a  lockfile  will  be
       removed  by  force  after  locktimeout seconds have passed
       since the lockfile was last modified/created (most  likely
       by  some  other program that unexpectedly died a long time
       ago, and hence could not clean up any leftover lockfiles).
