You know, I never thought about it in connection with the once database. ...and looking at the code in autoreply, there doesn't seem to be any locking at all. :-( We've been running Exim on a 3-host cluster with home directories on NFS for many years, and I don't think there's ever been a problem with the once databases. At least if there has, nobody has told me. However, I suppose if there was a problem, it is probable that nobody noticed!
