Hi, Does Mailman need to lock Mailbox files? If so, how does it do so?
My hosting company runs Mailman. I'm writing a script which modifies my mailbox files to delete old messages, and I need to be able to lock the files before I do so to stop any other process from trying to modify them at the same time. The way that Mailman does this may give me a clue how to do it...
