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! Does
the loss of an update to the once database really matter?
