Nothing else outside of IMail and Declude should be locking the files since
we do not virus scan anything in or under the IMail directory, nor do we do
back-ups during the day (declude -diag has no problems creating and deleting
the eicar virus in the IMail directory).

This server shouldn't be working all that hard, but we are in the process of
setting up a separate IMail/Declude relay server so we can off-load the spam
filtering and virus scanning from the IMail server hosting the e-mail
domains and accounts.
Can the other errors and issues that Declude was reporting simply be
ignored? Things like:
JunkMail:
- ERROR: Could not move spam to hold
- Could not open envelope file
- Couldn't rename SMD to SM$
- Could not lock
Virus:
- Error starting scanner
- Couldn't open headers datafile
- Error opening mime file
- Error: 32 opening new datafile
