Mark,

hope you enjoyed your break. I figured this one out shortly after I sent the query. We 
are using Exim as our MTA software and it uses flock and fcntrl by default. On the 
busy service machine the lock files created by flock were not being removed hence no 
access via a mail client to the mailbox. I was able to resolve the problem by 
configuring exim to use only fcntrl.

regards,
