Exim expects fcntl() locking to work for its spool files. You may (will?) find that this is a bad idea if the system is at all busy because of contention for the directory. Exim is disk-limited. By reducing the disk bandwidth for the several instances you are just making that worse. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
