You could even have a look at the Solaris manner of locking, using
maillock() and mailunlock() (those are safe even over NFS). There is a Linux
lookalike of those functions. They are in the liblockfile package, in a
Debian archive near you:
hamm/hamm/source/libs/liblockfile_0.1-4.tar.gz
I managed to have ZMailer using this thing on my Debian box yesterday.
