Will complain about spurious lockfile, I believe; don't use lockfiles
outside nesting blocks.

Nesting blocks in procmail are introduced by { and ended by }.

I think this will do what you want a bit cleaner:

:0 
* ^To: old_address at anywhere.com
* ! ^From: .*(amazon|citibank)
|/home/bin/spamsubmit

Anything that is too your address and not from amazon or citibank will
be filed as spam.
